Domestic Violence
I was just
watching the news on television and a lady cae on speaking about Domestic
Violence. This topic has always been a concern to me and although I know that
we leave out the men because the number of male victims is so much fewer than
females I can’t help but remember those men in my life that were abused. I have
deliberately kept this poem gender neuter.
