Hell's Name is Husband

An Abused Wife's Perspective

Shirlene Alusa-Brown
Hell's name is husband
He stokes the flame
Of anger, hatred, denial and blame

You're not worth anything
You're just a fool
Don't think you're smart
Just because you're in school

Have sex with you?
Who'd sleep with your butt!!
You bar whore, you nothing, you ignorant slut!

The devil is dancing
In time to the flame
Wait...him and husband.....
They look just the same!

    Excellent poetry! I can only imagine what that would feel like, but I still think you hit the spot. Great job. :-)

    Oh! my dear, dear Sisters!! Please!! Please! do not let The Enemy wreak anymore havoc on our minds!!Abusers,(be they physical or Mental abusers),no matter who they are, are NOT men, certainly not MEN of God, nor are they our HUSBANDS!! We must come to the place where we love ourselves enough to enjoy our own company, and to WAIT on God, our Father, to send us His choice for our Husband ( if this is in His will). He has given me a vision to speak out of my own life, to guide women to the love within themselves, for themselves, as to facilitate empowerment, so we can be ALL He intended us to me (no matter what anyone says to us or about
    us, nor what satan has made them inflict upon us), and to turn our Pain into Power! Power that will change our children's live, our communities;, and ultimately the WORLD!!Whatever the devil meant for bad, make it the catalyst to make Positive changes in some other woman's life. I am hosting my first " I AM"
    Seminar, this Saturday, 25 August, in Flori
