"Tears of Fury"
By:Kelli Kay (c)2001

So many horrible images
burnt in my mind
how can cruelty of this extent
exist in humankind?
young girls an women
in far away lands
being stoned an beaten
cuz it's the will of a man
tortured an killed
by members of their own family
they claim it's in honor
cuz the family has been shamed
but these women haven't done anything

I can't believe what I've seen an heard
raped,mutilated,controlled
these women have no freedom
no say in their own lives
they're like the walking dead
being forced into wives
if they refuse the offer
of a marriage proposal then
they are scorched an left to die
it makes me so mad i could cry
tears of fury
rage an disgust
with great sadness deep inside
for,if a man feels he has been offended
it's grounds enough for the woman to die
all because men are the big dogs in these countries
an what they say an do never gets punished or contradicted
it makes me sick through an through

It's so unhumanly barbaric
how they are treated an people who just watch without a sigh
i seen this on my tv an now i wanna know why
why is this not being stopped
we have to do something for these girls
we can't just ignore it an think it'll go away
every second,every minute,every hour,every day
a girl or woman is dying
their government is not concerned
with what they have to say
we here in the USA have to stand up
an demand a change
sign the petition,do what you must
we dont live in the stone age anymore
an neither should they
I'm so mad i could cry
tears of fury
rage an disgust
great sadness deep inside
for the way these women are treated
is enough to make anyone cry

Humankind is cruel, it's one of the first things that the nice ones like us learn when we reach the age of about 3, I also find it hard to deal with all this s**t that goes on in the world . It is everywhere, even in the schools of the developed world we get bullying just like the stupid social ranking games of the adult population . Thanks for writing this poem, so I could moan on about how I hate the unfairness of the world .

Watersign6, today I have apologize for being white and for what we did to the Indian, now I am sorry for not having power to right so many wrongs in the world.  I can pray for changes. Hugs, ME
