About This Poem
RAPED, TWICE
NO
I will not remain silent as my global sisters are victimized, repeatedly,
unable to walk their neighbourhoods without fear.
There is no reason for rape.
Nothing earns men the right to force their way inside, degrade, assault.
NO
No outfit a woman wears earns a man the right to ignore her plea of no
No cut of cloth, no height of heel signifies a man’s claim to slap her into
submission, penetrate whatever orifice he prefers and then rut her like a pig.
NO
No time, no country, no city, no street, no building, no room, no age, no lack of
education, no amount of dates, no amount of drinks, no drug, no marriage
license, no flirting, no flaunting, no parked car, no bar, no party, no long kiss
NO
No law, no political climate, no civil unrest, no war, no amount of prostitution
no pornography no video game no piece of fiction no phone sex no sex-ting
no his-story no her-story no past abuse no damned but she wanted it excuse
There is no reason for rape.
Nothing earns men the right to sodomize, traumatize, gag her cries.
I will not remain silent as my global sisters are victimized in cold degrees,
First by the men who choose to use them like meat
pulverizing, thrusting, biting and panting, ripping, slipping,
emptying their hate into bloodied flesh, brutally, daily,
the victims are mothers and daughters, voiceless, defenseless...
THEY ARE THE GUILTLESS
I will not remain silent as they are raped again and again
By judgment
By prejudice
By blame
By indifference
By stupidity
By lack of heart, understanding or awareness
NO
Do you hear me?
NO
Say it with me
NO
NO
NO
NO MORE
Do not remain silent
