    How does one find words to beat his wife

    How does one find words to beat his wife?

     He does not

    Just a little beat of the fist to the left each day

       A little more

        A little more

         The world will show you

    Black eyes

     Two

      Why does she speak more?

    She wants to be heard

    You hear

     You beat

    You hear cries

    You kill

    Do you listen?

    NO

    Do you care?

    YOU THINK

    Do you see?

    YOU THINK

    Wrap your hurt up and strike her

    Will she understand?

    NO

     Do you care?

     You would if you knew

    She is dead now

    She can not even listen to you

    She hurts no more

    But you do.

    This is a good write but yet so sad. A man that beats his wife is not a man at all. This is how he makes himself believe he is.So sad that this happens everyday. Good emotions

    Too bad more people don't read poems like this! maybe the domestic violence wain some. Too many times someone has to die to get a message across. A very good poem, if only more would see it.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
