Gisele
I don’t know how to write this –
It’s an homage to Gisele
And her bravery despite the horror
Which to her befell.
She chose to show her face while
In the courtroom, on a screen,
Repeated violations
To her body would be seen.
Her husband, lowest of the low,
Deserves his stint in jail,
But the question one must ask is
What is normal for a male?
For if 50 other rapists,
Spanning families, jobs and years,
Thought their acts should be accepted,
All is worse than it appears.
Hearing all the awful details,
With so many men to blame,
Gisele nailed it when she told the world
The sides are switching shame.
