There are far too many instances that cause human suffering :-(
You have chronicled many of them here, and saddened me.
Thank God for the final line, offering hope of man's ability to put an end to many of these inhumanities.

Yes it most certainly is a domino effect until one person takes a stand (at least in the family) and decides enough is enough and seeks help for themselves or their loved ones and then the appropriate social workers or councilors can take action on their behalf.
But I sympathize, that many times it is always too late as the physical and emotional damage has already been done.

Comment from Oatmeal
I used to look much worse than the picture here until my husband got me away from him! Thank God for my wonderful husband.
The poem is well written. The theme hurts but it is a true fact. Arrangement and narrations are very good. Telling things very plainly and comprehensibly.
I saw no SPAG and no typos. It was very clean.
Your feelings are very understandable and expressed through the poem.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

Too much suffering of many types. The whole world is becoming a much more desperate place these days. And, there doesn't seem tone any way out of the misery for so many people. You wrote this so well.

Comment from royowen
All these things are true, but all things are not necessarily the male's fault or father's fault, I've witnessed many mother's who are not great mother's either. But the foundation of all societies is the family unit, and all values will emanate from that at least on a national basis, great write, I enjoyed it, blessings, Roy.

Comment from mfowler
I was waiting for the call to follow Jesus. With such a litany of terrible situations discussed in your verses, there was only ever going to be one solution. And you placed it perfectly, chose the perfect scriptural quote, and changed the tone of the poem from maudlin to hope filled within two lines. Very good. All the best in the comp.

Human suffering has been in the news a lot recently, especially in regard to the abuse of women. Thank you for writing this poignant poem, Anonymous Writer. You covered the subject very well. Good luck in the contest.

This is a strange contest. The free style poem, illustrate human suffering very well, and in that you did well in satisfying the prompt. I don't understand what life form on Earth doesn't suffer.
