I'm afraid of what this world has become;
The downfall of it's new generation;
The embarrassment it faces;
Enlarging numbers of deceased innocent souls;
What has become of the men of this world?
They are captured by alcohol;
With no realise that they are becoming monstrous;
They are beast who eager and hunger for harm;
Harshness and violent is all they think of;
Now I fear and cry for my life;
For I fear for my day is coming;
Why become so brutalized by alcoholism;
Then your heart become filled with abhorism;
Where no there is no shelter of peace;
Love replaced by Abhorrent;
Joy captured by Tears;
Happiness provoked by Sadness;
Whenever you decide to be monstrous;
Your moster strikes my heart to death;
I am left to die in a desert;
If only men could be Protective not Abusive;
If only they could count they words;
For the knowledge between good and bad;
Those battles of the street lives heartbreak;
If only men could change attitudes and demands;
The world would change itself;
Act now while time is still on our side;
Stop GENDER based VIOLENCE to build a better tomorrow;
Let's unite and become one.
