Duality.A Poem by Nefertiti Virtudes AhmesThe uneven balance of the condition of half the population.
Pounding, pounding fists.
Rope scraping on wrists. Toes curl and back arches. With each crack of the whip. The skin creaks like a crypt. Blood ooze while tears refuse, To pour over as he is forced to bend over. Body quakes and he is touched by a snake. SNAP There goes his sanity as he’s pushed against the vanity. His fight for his humanity is futile. As this man shows him what’s brutal. When all is said and done they laugh. Because judging by the graph, Men can’t be a casualty. Though in reality there are so many fatalities. Secrets hidden like it’s forbidden. Unheard cries as they’re scared to be labeled. Unheard cries as they remain their captives prize. Silent prayers as they start to unravel. As they travel under the gravel. The promise of life gone as they rest unsettled in their graves. For their screams can be heard in the wind. As their justice hangs just outside of societies bubble. © 2020 Nefertiti Virtudes AhmesFeatured Review
