Hey, poets!

[Du Lac]

back to the women and violence thing... I don't think women are any less violent than men inherently, just that there is this perception of such.

John here is a small poem I wrote on domestic violence.. regarding both genders

Products of Their Environment
by Du Lac ©

Seeking love,
Creation of hell,
Products of their environment.

Vacant coitus, physical needs,
Empty selves, crying dreams,
Products of their environment.

Flash of a fist,
Anger released,
Product of his environment.

Surfacing bruises,
Heart that won’t leave,
Product of her environment.

Twisting triggers, denying truth,
Fucking others, blame each other,
Products of their environment.

Dead hearts, hopeless souls,
Empty shells, two depart.
Products of their environment.

Reflection breeds,
Forgiveness for both.
Product of my environment.

as I move forward in my quest

to find the perfect group of people with which to spiritually and metaphysically grow, I read the end of your poem and see all that we can be. There is so much to learn from each other, if we can only put the fear of being "wrong" behind us. I really like this Du.. Thank you for sharing it with us.

John

Dead hearts, hopeless souls,
Empty shells, two depart.
Products of their environment.

Reflection breeds,
Forgiveness for both.

I think the point of the book is to show that women are actually more violent, and more dangerous.
