Defiled

Congo drums rapidly beat into the hearts of innocent wombs a mythical warrior's prized sacrifice the stolen booty of hell's pirates parted are the legs of the red sea soldier upon soldier march through oblivious to the fear of drowning from so many tears of mourning for the spirit has died flooded by the filth eroded by the stench of lust pillaged with utter brutality smiles of decay are zippered hiding a bloodied sword crumpled, lies the slain victim breathing the venom of tainted beasts another territory conquered yet the struggle so fierce that it took 20 men to invade a 12 year old girl........ Bob Shank-July 28th, 2006 You know, I'm old and understand that the world is constantly and rapidly changing, but how a worldwide news program can air a documentary about 25,000+ rapes occuring in the congo by soldiers and nothing is being done is beyond me. These women, (actually most were little girls) were raped, battered and beaten so many times, they needed surgery to repair their genital areas. One women was forced to watch her husband and two kids being murdered before she was ganged raped repeatedly by 15 or more soldiers... We used to hunt war criminals, but I guess impoverished nations aren't on the list....When will humanity wake up!
