YOUR GIFT

We beat them, slapped them, cussed and bruised them

We've ignored them, mocked them, lusted and abused them



They were your gift

So we wouldn't be alone

But we've slapped you

By treating them oh so wrong



We've put them on stages

And told them to dance

We give them our money

Instead of romance



We should cherish

Honor and protect

Instead we are vile

Many lives we have wrecked



Lord, I stand before you

My head hung low in shame

For everything that is corrupted

We alone are to blame



Lord, you created us

You placed us as Kings

But in our selfish ego

We've dishonored your Queens



Father, forgive us

Create in us a new heart

Sanctify us in your mercy

From our sin, set us apart



Guide us in Your way

Teach us how we should go

To value your gift

The women you gave us to know

sigh theifoncross....

I have lived in parts of that

I can recall being the queen
The one you respected and revered
before the poison leeched in
spewing its acid from your tongue

I can recall being the princess
remember your pedestal?
the one you dragged me from?
and beat me with?

I can recall being the prisoner
locked in your gilded cage
you oiled my plumage
but silenced my song

So many uncomfortable truths in these verses. I admire your guts in committing to public scrutiny your observations, and I hope that your prayers are answered.
