Domestic Violence and the Workplace and Pantagraph.com posted three poems of domestic violence on their sites.
One truly hit me hard.
What It Means To Be A Victim
I am the beast
Which you have lain upon the alter
An offering to an angry God
I am the one
Chosen for purity's sake
Whose throat will be slit
As my blood spills out
Ask yourself
Have you come closer to God?
Is God now happy?
As my blood runs down the street
Ask yourself
Can we now find peace?
Or must we come back to this alter?
Again and again
I am the one
That sacrificial beast
I think the church needs to FEEL this one so that we can stop the sacrificial alter calls.
