I watched a news program tonight,the first 3 stories were, domestic violence, a mans struggle with mental health and African children in a classroom with no roof, all wearing blank expressions , 4 words came to me as I watched. The words to the poem followed...
NEVER, NOT, EVER....Afraid..
A woman should NEVER be afraid of a man.
A man should NOT be afraid of himself
A child shouldn't EVER be afraid of their future.

A fine write P. you writing these poems upside down? (your pic). heehee
Ha ha no, it suppose
To represent my
Upside down world.
Thanks for your comment
Very much appreciated
I love the short poems that convey so much. This is such a one, P.H.Rose. Kudos!
Thank you Louis
Me and you both
I fully agree with this! Simple and clean!
Thank you J.D...
I can see how you respond to such. Remember the news organizations tend to glamorize , sensationalize, varying with what sells and the political climate. A child is abducted a thousand miles away does not necessarily mean mine can't play in the back yard. Also,with the focus on a classroom without a roof you can keep people from knowing about the hundreds of people being killed in your city each year. Thanks for stimulating poem.
Thank you Augustus
I totally agree with
Everything you say.
My poem was more
About every woman
That has to go through
Domestic violence, my
Mother was one such lady
I have had a struggle with
Mental health for a number
Of years and children all
Over the world should not
Be worried about their future.
But I agree with what you
Say....
Sorry I went tangential. (Listen more Augustus)

Fear is like heat and sunlight , water and cold , pressure and twisting . . . it distorts one's image .
Spot on friend.
