Say 'no' To Gender Based Violence Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Tear down the anger in your hearts
Put on a robe of peace and love
Wear a smile in whatever you do
Remove jealousy from your thoughts
Polish your heart with the best love herbs
Sit down with your partner
And cherish the absence of violence

Respect each other's individuality
Hurtful words are as violent as a hail of fists
Black eyes and broken ribs are never a sign of love
Too much expectation is never a sign of love
Reckless invasion of privacy is never a sign of love
Insecurity is never a sign of love
Caring is a sign of love
Respect is a sign of love
Love has no burden
Love has no pain
Love is a beautiful existence
Say 'No' to gender based violence
