Slapped in the face, with a high heel shoe
Hit on the head, with a dinner plate
All for being, five minutes late

I've had bruises, deeply coloured
Cigarette burns, my body's devoured
Lumps and bumps, everywhere
Nobody knows, they don't care

Women get beat up, everyday
Zero tolerance, make men pay
What about the man, that gets beat up so
Is there anywhere, for him to go

He's the stronger, of the two
Though this isn't, always true
Sometimes afraid, to breakaway
Zero tolerance for men, some day

Beaten Once Too Much

That sounds fair to me, though I hope I never get in that kind of situation. I feel sorry for you though

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
