Jack

Late nights, ill motives Drive good men to do bad things When right becomes wrong And justice looks the other way A man takes a woman without her consent and his future repent She fought and denied him as he grabbed and possessed her the dastardly became more a destiny of force her trading her dignity for his unwanted seeds But until then her life was dull, and then Contemplating, anticipating for nine months She had no ideas, on what to expect Then she gave birth to a miracle the monstrosity in the darkness, erased She was glad, so glad, to hear new cries They abolished hers echoing from before Proud of herself and what had become She named the beautiful young sprout ling Jack She traded it all for him once, he was a magic bean By Karl Marszalowicz

wow, YOURS is more like a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Ending on a much better note than my hotel room poem. I really like this!!! Very creative one. There was the most outstanding movie I saw recently on cable about a rape. I completely forgot its title. It was about 10 years old, this movie. gosh, I wish I could remember its title . It was something like "beneath the sun" and I never saw rape shown with such horror (what it caused in its aftermath)

I usually don't go to such places (mentally or physically) but it was written for the seeds contest and then I took it out thinking it wouldn't amount to Jack. thanks for the note and time, much appreciated.
