POEM STARTER

End a poem with the line:
'When does a man become a monster?'
The Man
I see men differently now
From the man who created me to the last man I loved
You all fucking suck
The little boys running around, what do they know?
What do they know about abuse about torture about violence
Who taught you to be so entitled?
Entitled to a woman’s body, entitled to a woman’s love, a woman’s thoughts, a woman’s presence
Where did the violence begin?
I don’t know a woman who hasn’t been tortured at the hands of an evil man
We live and breathe the same experiences, the same men, the same backwards values that ruin OUR LIVES
Protect our children protect our women
When does a man become a monster?
When does that little boy turn dark?
A man becomes a monster the first time he puts his hands on his girlfriend, the first time he hits his poor sweet child, the first time he realises he is far stronger than any woman.
Alas, they are not.
WE create life.
Woman are the most powerful, all knowing and intelligent species on the planet.
Man created God to diminish a woman’s true power.
That is when man became monster.
