hearing the word no.

Why in a relationship do men not understand when a women says no. That it's intrusian on her humanity,
and that's no place to go.
Assault is not a harmless place.
When there's lack of human rights,
compassion is an avoided place.
Just look at the pain on a womens face,
it's not just a minute of your pursuit.
for life scared a women shouldn't have to carry a can of mace.
Men think, it's always their place.
To pursue a women, and then cripple her life.
in words you can understand when a women says no
that's what it means.
In plain and simple words,
you do the crime be prepared to do the time.
a man doesn't pressure a women,
or take him into his control,
and when you ignore her words,
betray her life,
place your unwanted hands,
onto her that's just not right.
If sex is on your mind,
and she's not a consenting partner,
if she's not of willing age,
it's not just an act of sex,
its aggression to the volitile of point.
if you commit the crime be prepared to do the time.
Because once you initiate that assault,
it's her life that will be on the line.
when you walk around thinking of your score.
the victim will be all but fine.
so when you have sex,
instead of using your flesh use your mind.
That way you have respect and nothings left behind.
