Never....Not....Ever......Afraid

P.H.Rose

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.

      • P.H.Rose

      • J.D. Treick

          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....

                Points...

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