It's not O.K.
To speak to me
Emotionlessly
To rape my mind and body
Endlessly
To walk and talk with me
And lead me the wrong way
To twist my words
Voiding what I say
It's not O.K.
To give to me
Less love than you've received
To interrupt me
When I'm bowed down on my knees
To have me meet you
And for you to not be there
To pass onto me
The fatal waste of your company
Leaving me to die
And you just sigh
Saying "Let it be"
It's not O.K.
To walk in my shoes
And not admit to what is there
To see me cry
And never say a word
To kill my cat
Cause somebody else killed your bird
To close doors
That were opening for me
To make me cry
Indefinitely
It's not O.K.
To enslave a people
And never make amends
When is it appropriate
To split a heart in two
To get your kicks off
And, say that now you're through?
It's not O.K.
How dare you think
That you can do and be
All that you crave?
These things will be
A factor
All the way into your grave
~Because~
It's not O.K.
Patricia Price

Awesome!
Ah, now I see what I did when searching for this: I spelled out Okay.
Wow! You clearly make the point that "it is NOT okay. . . " And, you are so right: of evil unrepented follows one to the grave and beyond, all the way to God's Wrath. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone began to realize that this or that "is NOT okay."
You did a fantastic job of driving home the various points relative to wicked behaviour. I can well see why it has earned several trophies! Yoohoo!
Much luv & hugs, SisBon

I LOVE IT

I am puzzled about this. Why should Jesus want to kill your cat? God isn't interested in pussies. BUT: he will punish all SINNERS with terrible AGONY in HADES. Perhaps the person who killed your moggy will SUFFER for all ETERNITY.

Please add in your authors note if Tory can use this in her book...Scott & Tory

Powerfully written piece, It's not ok to treat somebody like property, not caring about their feelings or wishes. Well done, best of luck...Scott

Yes I do recall a time my ex killed my dog because he was angry. And made me bury it and say it could of been me. thanks for bringing back the reasons i had to leave. This was powerful indeed.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes to you

Your words are so true, and the repetition of 'its not ok' really brings it home, powerfully. Good luck in the contest!

This is not bad ...
and your premise is right on. I have to say that there's definitely more truth that poetry to this.

Powerfully strong and emotive write...very well done

I Was Sort Of Hoping...
Smile and lol, that it had a little soul in it, so as I could have a possibility of winning something in this contest as my pointage spread is low(smile)- No, you are not intruding at all in any respect. I would like us all to get the gist of this poem, this applies more to me, I have hurt others along my way, but I am trying to always
tap into myself to limit doing these un OK acts in present and future. This poem starts with me first, it must.
