A Weak Minded Coward

His supposed nearest and dearest of him live a fearful life
He is a cowardly man who beats his children and wife
Since violence towards the defenceless is quite cowardly indeed
The Human World of his sort is definitely not in need
Domestic violence on the increase in the World of today
And this is a sad thing for to have to say
In many cases of domestic violence the law does seem slack
In it's implementation of penalties against violent offenders it does seem to lack
Family violence like all forms of violence is a serious crime
And those guilty of such ought to serve prison time
And though many jailed for it known to re-offend
The law is lenient on offenders of domestic violence why otherwise pretend
The man who is violent to his wife and children may feel self empowered
But in reality he is a weak minded coward.
