POEM: MY MARRIAGE

This poem may be useful for trainers to use in workshops.
It is about injustice towards a woman at the hands of her
husband. It can be used as the topic of a group discussion.

I once met a girl
who was so good to me
and she soon was the light
in my life.
She gave me three children,
looked after my house.
I was happy to make her
my wife.
Our marriage was strong.
Our family has grown.
My love for her never fades.
And I thanked God each day
that my wife came to stay.
But I did not thank her.
I just gave her AIDS
and she gave the virus
to our baby son.
Now both are dead
and I am dying.
Please God forgive me.
