This poem idea started after hearing about Rihanna’s alleged abuse. I have a zero tolerance for wife or any type of abusers.
This is a poem reflecting what women go through in abusive relationships in that it is hard to leave and hard to stay. External forces sometimes control the victim’s choices and for each victim the external forces can be different. Noteworthy to mention, only the abused and tormented can speak to this; only they know; therefore, this poem is fictional. It speaks to the psychological torment and fear, which forces some to stay, while still fearing leaving the abuser and living alone.
Three Words Never Spoken
Your saber tooth sharp as knife
Is what keeps me by your side.
Your ruthless regard for others
And lack of empathy
Makes me blind
When others can see
You are quite scary.
Meaningless revenge in your heart -
Displaced anger
How I wished you could forget your past
Oh, if only I could part
But scared I am towards your
hands.
No more do I want that slap
Cannot bear feeling your touch.
Never the words
I love so much
Will be spoken by me,
Not just to you
But to all my future
Abusers,
Yes, I'm tired of going out
With losers
because once in
Its hard to get out.
Spun in your web of deceit
You pull out your best intrigue
Never do we see it coming.
Then we find ourselves in a mess.
A surprise trait you reveal
When it's too late
For people like me
To change our mind.
See,
We don't want to leave
Cause we've been convinced
No one else will take us in.
Thus,
Mission accomplished,
We no longer believe
And cannot see a way out,
But there'll be a day -
Wait and see
I swear
when I gain the courage,
a day when I muster up the strength
to be at my best.
Men like you are everywhere.
I now know your untruths
And when compared
A single life to pursue
Would be better
And come with less hurt.
I'll make my move
The next time you reach out
To slap.
I'll have a surprise trait revealed;
You'll apologize to not just me
But the others.
You may have larger hands
More strength and a man -
According to you
But I got a gun!
So ----you!

The Greater Stake
Where do you go
When the grass you walked on
The home you lived in-
Your best friends
No longer existed?
In this material world
You have to choose
Between right and wrong
And find out for yourself
What side of the line
Do you want to belong.
What do you do
When your old neighborhood dissipates
And shortly afterwards
Your memories of past
Start to escape.
You no longer have
Any friends
That you can turn to;
What you have instead
Is your Lord who has saved you.
Would you think the turn you took
Was a mistake?
On the other hand,
Realize what was at stake?
What if you found
The closeness of others
From your distant past
Did not last
Rather, they all turned on you
And did so,
Fast.
When you find yourself
In that place
Your first thought might be
You were betrayed
However, you will soon realize
You have been saved,
And are going the Lord’s way.
Hence, it is your friends
Going in the opposite direction,
Where their home
Is still a pathway to destruction
Yet, you are making it to heaven.

If interested in other pieces, for instance, green poetry, political editorial opinions, go to http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/473873/donny_c_davied.html/ and search for the following titles: Mother Nature's Response, A Forever Key Around Your Heart, Are We There Yet?, Man Versus Mother Nature and Media and Race.
Mother Nature's Response is a poem that begins with illustrations of humanity's reckless behavior and the accumulative affect it has on Mother Nature. It includes and ends with showing Mother Nature's wrath as she shows the importance of all organisms have a right to be here.

A Forever Key Around Your Heart, a sad love poem reflecting what some relationships experience. Its central them is an individual being surprised when the spouse/partner leaves. Its self-reflectiveness is shown when one does not take notice of love languages, love can slip away.

Are We There Yet?
This is an editorial opinion suggesting some of Media’s falsehoods. The Media becomes more persuasive and bias as they merge with tabloid news. They could help racial inequality; rather, they hinder racial divide progress. Media's untruths will only continue until we use critical thinking and analyze our media data.

Finally, go to this site: www.associatedcontent.com/article/1667455/media_and_race_covert_and_overt_messages.html/ This is an in-depth editorial opinion examining the difference between today and yesterday media coverage concerning racial inequality especially in wake of our new President. It dissects overt and covert journalistic reporting attitudes and tactics. There will always be some form of media stereotypical coverage; what this piece uncovers is the dangers of one method versus the other.
