Male Myth Busters Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

It is a society cultural myth
violence inflicted is not
exclusive property domain
of prime male predator?

female ignored violence
so often shame swept
under convenient carpet
sometimes both parents

beat long suffering
victims their children
tag team wrestling
in circus ring perfecting

thrown bodies bouncing
to angry energy beats
screams of hidden silences
haunting fatalities prolific
