ABOUT A MAN AND HIS WIFE

I saw a man beating up
His poor working wife
Deaf to her cries
Rolling his sleeves up
Not caring about sighs...

I stood in between
The two of them
Determined to clean
The man...when

The beaten-up woman
Stopped me and asked
Who the hell was I
To step in 'without reason'

Now I know why
Some men make it a hobby
Of beating up their wives
While some women seem happy
To be content with their cries.
