Poetry: Rape

by Eloisa G.

The vile violence I fought

Until no fight left

Was subdued by the lewd onslaught

I scream but the ears are deaf




If I reason with him

Maybe he will desist

But his mind is dim

What will stop this antagonist?




If God you fear

This accounts as sin

But he replied with a sneer

It is not your sin




In my minds plea

I beg you please

Don't cause my life to flee

Because my children I need

Who wait at home for me
