In this one instance
May I never feel rested
As though the job
Is somehow complete
It is not complete
Until all voices
Have been heard
There are many
So many
Tormented souls
Crying from the inside out
All walks of life
With no racial or economical
Lines of demarcation
The prettiest face
Hiding some
Unspeakable
Disgrace
Or the ones we see
Walking with the
Black and blue
Badge of his dishonor
Marking a face
Like claiming some
Blasted territory
Animal rights activists
Get more attention
And certainly
Shouldn't we all be
Protected from
Animals?
From beginning to end this is a great poem about how we must all come together to fight domestic abuse
ReplyDeleteWe should. It's such a touchy subject, though (that pun was intended). Which inspires me to keep talking about it; to keep writing about it. The laws are slowly changing in the right direction. Change. It's happening. It only gets better from here ;)
