Mental Violence Poem by Hebert Logerie

We very often witness physical violence
However, mental or psychological strains
On the brain are much more detrimental
Violence is evil, repugnant and diabolical.

Imagine the vain physical and mental abuses
Perpetrated against our brothers and sisters
The venom or the virus of hate causes crisis
Fears and distress even after many centuries.

Nugatory havoc, chaos and violence by any means
Are not acceptable. Even animals can be daunted
It's sad that few of us don't act as human beings.

Violent people are usually poltroons who attack or raid
Upon fragile individuals who are unable to fight effectively
We pray that all victims are healed mentally and physically.
