Though the poem ended up sounding as if it is addressed to a woman, I wrote it with both sexes in mind. Men are abused, too! Percentage may not be as high -- hard to tell because of under-reporting -- but it happens a lot. As for child abuse, don't get me started!! Thank all creation for organizations such as Angels That Care and anti-domestic-violence fighters like my friend, ATC head Marcia Duning. Peace and Good Will, regardless of season. 'Pea ---- Marcia calls me Pod....cool, huh._____________________________________..
