WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

This is something for the perpetrators side.

What are you looking at?

You want to see how I hit this brat?

You see he behaves like a wild pig

Can't sit and always say I want to pee

Crying all the time

Sayin'  I wan't this and that mommy

Crazy

I am definitely gettin' dizzy

No food to eat and no money on my pocket

How could he not understand

Damn

This child is a headache

I start pinching him and kicking

Watch now as I hit him with a stick

Now he's cryin'

Noise noise noise

Do me a favor stop yelling

Telling

It's not my right to hit my child

Who then would discipline him?

Feeling

Numbness, Senseless, Frozen

all the doors and windows are locked

so no one could see the torture

He's shouting

Slap hit

Slap hit

That is what I do to him

When I'm hungry and he's cryin'

You lemme see child abuse

Now I let you see poverty

Don't just stare at me

You are of no use!

What are you looking at?

You want to see how I molest a daughter?

You see she behaved like a w***e

Wearing revealing clothes to me

Lookin' good in my eyes

Sayin' thank you for being a good father daddy

Craving

Selling drugs is the only way for living

No food to eat and no money on my pocket

How could I resist this feeling

Damn

This life is a mess

I started usin' killin' and fighting

Go home hit my daughter

found her crying

Sexin'

Keep on doing the same thing to her

over and over again

Noise noise noise

Do me a favor stop yelling

Telling

It's not my right to sexually abused my child

Who then would use her?

Feeling

Numbness, Senseless, Frozen

all the doors and windows are locked

so no one could see the torture

She's shouting

Slap hit

Slap hit

That is what I do to her

When I use drugs and she's cryin'

You lemme see sexual abuse

Now I let you see poverty

Don't just stare at me

You are of no use!

Author's Note

I just want you to understand that if we really do want to help someone from abuse we need not to only stare. Others want to end abuse but what they do is just stare. Not really helping. File a case, refer the child to a child caring institution, report the abuse, file a blotter report to the police, be an instrument for awareness, shout if you have to, help people in poverty. DO SOMETHING.

This is a very powerful message, but I'm not sure it comes across as being very sympathetic to either side of such abuse situations. This isn't a drawback, becuz your message is still very thought-provoking & meaningful . . . not condemning, but just not sympathetic either. Just laying it out there as it can sometimes be, both sides looking ugly & inconceivable, not whitewashing anything. I like the jagged way you spit out the various words & short phrases with dynamic verbs & feelings, it gets across your sensations of a person so overwhelmed or frustrated that they're sputtering out their venom or hopelessness. All that construction & word choice stuff is so well done here to show instead of tell. This is the poster child for show instead of tell. I'm a child of many years of constant abuse, both sexual & violence, so I can say that I embrace all aspects of the childhood that formed me into who I am. This should be accepted by all & your poem definitely gets this across strongly (((HUGS)))

[Mr.Writer]

Very true! It always is

[apennylate]

The word choice here is quite raw, Miss Cap, between the pissing and craving... Selling drugs in torture... Heh, you really brought a daring subject to bear with finesse and aptitude... Daringly penned...

A recurrent theme I feel. One in which you have invested emotion. You manage to capture some of the emotion and social issues without making the reader feel sympathy for the perpetrator. And poverty is no excuse for either act. Neither is child abuse, be it sexual or otherwise, the sole domain of the poor.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much for the review. I do want people to see the other side and see it negatively. :)
