#22 of Poetry

A poem I wrote while thinking about some of the physical abuse in my past, and how meaningless it all is; how destructive violence to the abused and the abuser.

_Violence_

Senseless purging of the heart   
Ceaseless anger from which it starts   
There is nothing but pain   
Reason and love shall part

Virtues and morals are slain   
Not a value to gain   
Now nothing is the same   
Reality that misery will drain

Many reasons to blame   
Since violence has came   
There is nothing to show   
Of the wounds ill-fame

No reasons to know   
Control yet to sew   
Temptation so tart   
So broken, you go.
