Pain of abuse
Lighting strike and
the thunder rolls.
The sirens get
louder and the
slaps get harder
and more painful
as the police
come closer.
A man with
too much to
drink is taking
his anger out
on her.
No one can
help because she
cannot scream for help.
The Cops try
to stop him
before it is
too late.
They try to
push him but
he hits one
of the officer.
This is from
of abuse.
I wish that
the pain of
abuse would stop
even for one day.
The pain of
abuse is what
starts the process.
Too many women
dead because people
abuse them.
Let stop the
pain of abuse
and slowly make
this world a
better place.
