the violence of men

there are violent women
but most
of the violence
of the world comes
at the hands of men.
angry men. religious men.
strong or weak.
blame it on their fathers.
their loveless
mothers.
blame it on
the lack of education or
money.
blame it on a thousand
things.
it doesn't matter.
in the hands of men,
there is always war
and crime
somewhere. men
wanting what they don't have,
trying to erase
those who don't believe
what they do.
