The Boxer and The Bag

Hi there!

Listen up.

Love is patient, it never shows wrath. Love is kind, it isn't wicked or mean. Love isn't abusive, it heals. Love doesn't destroy, it builds. Love isn't selfish, it gives. Love embodies the characteristics of only one- Jesus. When a man loves as God loves he will never find a reason to raise his hand to hit a woman. Everyday, 2 out of 4 women are involved in domestic violence and 1 out of these women lose their lives to abusive men. Let's put an end to domestic violence, let real men rise up and wear the badge of God's love.



“A real man wouldn’t lay a finger on a woman. He treats his partner with respect, love and support. Men are physically stronger and have no place abusing that power. Everyone has problems, and arguments happen, but that’s when a real man uses his intelligence to talk it out.” - Matt Lanter

Let me take you into a world of drama
Where chaos and disarray are like bread and butter
Meet Mr. A who fell in love with the girl of his dreams
They tied the knot and lived happily or so it seems
To the world, they played the perfect couple
But at home, away from the stage, they became different people

He was Muhammed Ali while she was the punching bag
Rage was his fuel, hatred waved proudly as his flag
Blinded by a sinister fury he pummelled his wife
Spitting spiteful words at her that cut deeper than a knife
At dawn, he was a cheery, charming, loving man
As dusk set in, he became a monster. a deranged titan

Tears were all she had as her armour
Her silence had slowly stirred an uprising, an inner clamour
Soon enough, in a nanosecond, she ended the nightmare
Bludgeoning the face of terror, leaving not a thing to spare
Thus was the case of the bag and the boxer
To the abusive man a lesson, to cherish his girl and love her.
