Respect Women

Why do our women have to bear the brunt?
Of simpleton men, Neanderthal like grunt.
Proving power through threats and manipulation.
Only proves, I say with no hesitation.
Some men lack true character, inside they are empty.
More a caricature, than real, and quite simply.
Destroying a woman makes you a damn joke.
Your man card should be terminated and revoked.
Keep your hands to yourself, beat the image in the mirror.
What if this happened to your mother? does that help make it clear.
Or maybe your daughter. Think about it.
Change your behaviour, there's a stink about it.
You don't own her, she owes you nill.
If she leaves, you have no right to kill.
Let her go, let her spirit be still.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I agree, some men are real pigs sadly
