under the sun
Mr Johnson works the railway
every day from nine to five
at the end of every work day
he goes home to his wife
Mr Johnson's "Mr Nice Guy"
all his neighbours think he's great
he's honest, hardworking and friendly
happy and smiling each day

Mrs Johnson's a different story
doesn't talk much, really shy
she hangs her head and turns away
whenever someone walks by
Mrs Johnson doesn't go out much
she prefers to stay at home
in fact she's only ever seen
when Mr Johnson's gone

Mr Johnson has lots of friends
one visits him every night
Mrs Johnson doesn't like him
he doesn't treat her right
Mr Johnson likes him though
they've been friends for years
Mrs Johnson's begged and pleaded
but he doesn't understand her fears

Mr Johnson's friend is nasty
after a while he gets angry
Mrs Johnson doesn't trust him
she thinks he's mean and crazy
Mr Johnson likes his company
his friend is a real mans man
Mrs Johnson is scared of him
she just doesn't understand

Mr Johnson doesn't see the problem
she should just shut her mouth
If she doesn't like him
she just should leave the house
Mrs Johnson has tried to leave
the friend stops her at the door
tells her it will be okay
he won't upset her anymore

Mrs Johnson doesn't believe him
but she comes back anyway
she knows what will happen
if she tries to walk away
Mr Johnson's happy now
his friend is happy too
he likes when Mrs Johnson
does what he tells her to

Mr Johnson works the railway
every day from nine to five
when the day is over
he goes home and beats his wife
Mr Jonhson, is no "Mr Nice Guy"
he's just a drunken devil in disguise
when the night comes calling
he's Dr Jekyll, she's Mrs Hide

so sad and painful ****.:(
 
RE: DR. JEKYLL~MRS.HIDE

How utterly, awesomely, disgustingly true....it's devastating to
know that such a dastardly thing happens to women....but there
is another silent minority...as I have discovered that it happens to
"men" too! How shameful that we can find ourselves "united" in
a quest of "death for peace"....yet so disjointed by "showing/seeking love through violence!" It's things like this
that helps to make the human existence such a dichotomy, and the word "mankind" such an oxymoron!
My heart is heavy from the acquisition of such knowledge...yet my
soul is enlightened at the thought that sharing it will assist some
one in removing themselves from such a situation!
Thank you for this poet, and may your words have the same effect
as did the rams' horns at JERICHO!!!

Rich...thanks for the words...this makes me so mad too..I have a sister who puts up with this and won't get out of the relationship..it gives me the chills and makes me wonder what makes women stay with men like these...and it is sad..especially when children are involved...as you say, these are not real men..

a...me too, but unfortunately it's a real life scenario on a daily basis for too many...thanks for your support...

SC...I agree with everything you say...it always seems to me that these "people" prey on victims with low self esteem and then tear them to shreds....it amazes me that they can be like this in the safety of their own walls yet present such a different image to the outside world....they are cowards in every sense of the word....thanks for the read and the comments...much appreciated...
