Break the Cycle

Let’s talk of a plight that needs to subside,
let’s open a topic where hearts collide.
Domestic violence, a dark and tragic verse,
calls for education to enlighten and disperse.

We’re not born to hurt, control, or fight.
We learn respect. We choose what’s right.
Real power shows through care and voice—
every day, we make that choice.

Let’s teach boys early how to feel,
to speak their truth, to keep it real.
Not bottle it up or let fists fly,
but stand up strong by asking why.

So girls feel safe, and boys feel heard—
let’s build a world where love’s the word.
It starts with us. We all play a part.
Change begins with an open heart.

With patience and teachings, let empathy bloom,
grow respect and awareness to banish the gloom.
Teaching us males to cherish, value, uphold,
the rights and wellbeing of others untold.

Open the doors of awareness, wide and clear,
unveiling the confines of prejudice and fear.
Empower us with ways to cope and converse,
be it through understanding or accepting diverse.

Equip us with tools to resolve conflicts, unlearn,
the reign of violence, let compassion return.
Teach us to channel emotions through gentle care,
breaking the cycle, spreading love everywhere.

For in dismantling male stereotypes and norms,
we pave the pathway to a life that is warm.
To educate men on love, respect, and trust,
the foundation to eradicate violence, we must.
