Gender Based Violence

Love me
Protect me
Hold me
Together
Hold me

16 days of activism
16 bars of truth
I know I'll receive criticism
What's the point?
Like voting for a political party
That says it all but does nothing
That's a story for another day
Men, I know you're hurting
But it doesn't mean
You should be hurting
Showing love with a backhand
And emotional torture
Expecting respect
Why do you keep accepting that
They want your disrespect
As you drink away your pain
Hoping to feel alive
As you plot to murder her
You say it's for her?
How's it for her,
If it's your insecurity talking
Do you even talk to her?
Or is she just your maid?
Why you mad man?
Pick on someone your own size
Don't blame the alcohol
You intimidated by her wage
That's why you waging war
Against her
When all she does is love you
Respect you and care for you
But you don't see that?
She is Beautiful
Yet you say she's almost beautiful
Not perfect enough
So she makes up
The marks of giving birth
The weight that she gained
Gave birth to feeling less
But wait,woman are beautiful
Gentle creatures
Made in the image of God
So what makes you think
You can tell her that she's nothing?
3 years later and your baby is now talking
Her first word was " daddy"
But where were you with the mistress?
While mommy was in deep stress
Mommy went to work
As You blame her for your job lose
It was covid-19
Your baby didn't deserve to be molested
Why abuse woman and children?
Were you abused by other children?
Were you molested is that why you do it?
Adam was in need of help
God sent Eve to help
When you need help
It means you lack strength
So who's the weaker one now?
Intoxicated with Black label
Don't mean you have a black belt
Or that she's the punching bag
What does it take to be a man?
It takes a man to make a man
There's no reason to abuse and misuse
Gods Queens and princesses
We are our brothers Keepers
Brothers keep one another accountable
There's no need for the mistreating, abusing and misusing our women and children
This is gender based violence, but everyone keeps the silence
Back in March
I portrayed myself as the virus
Made it clear that this is no game
Yet many keep pushing my buttons
You expect her to make up and wear a mask
Covering the blue eye and scars
We are losing so many relatives, because of this virus yet you still think you macho man?
Come on man, look at the bigger picture man
Life is a lecture man & death is a lesson man
With the same strength that you hit her
You can protect and love her
Brother we are supposed to be providers and not abusers
Let's mentor and father the fatherless
Inspire and motivate
Elevate and meditate on the word of God
This is religion less
We all men not just in faith
One nation under God
Time waits for no men,
Turn from your wicked ways
For the wages of sin
Is death
She commits mental suicide
Every time you cross the line
Enough is enough
Today is the day
That it all stops!
Change starts within
Without a choice
Change means nothing
You need to realize that you need help
If you don't see it
There'll be no help
Look in the mirror and see a better man
Come on man, you can do better man
No excuses

Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Just hold me together
Hold me
Love me
Protect me
Keep me
Together
