VIOLENCE
Scourge of society
Decimates populations
Why are human beings
Doing it?
Hearing about gruesome
Violence
Makes you wonder
How some people are capable
Of perpetuating
Such an act
Gouge someone's eyes
Rape & bayonet pregnant women
Burn people alive
Destroy their abode
kill their livestock
Cut people's throat
Oh! Human Beings
You are
Capable of achieving
Great things
Why degenerate
Become sadistic & uncaring?
How can you sleep at night?
After commiting
Such barbarous act?
Don't you have relatives?
Do you like
If they are butchered?
As you butcher others
Do you close your eyes
When you snatch
Somebody's life?
Violence begets violence
Does not solve poroblems
Let's remember
November eleven
A Day dedicated
To campaigning and
Ending violence
Perpetuated against women
Remember it all year round
Let's think deep and wide
To renounce and end violence
Not only domestic but world-wide
Violence
Against our mothers ,daughters and sisters
Pledge once & for all
To eliminate
This scourge manifested
In mental & physical
VIOLENCE
