Rape and Abuse

Cries for help went awry ,
anguish and pain went in vain
lost battle of life before a coward.
Groping and forcing on a girl  does not
 make a man strong just proves that he is a beast,
and unfit to be among people.
Taking away a girl's modesty
is not a most heroic act
but a heinous crime which
even ferocious beast would not have.
Curse the moment when these 
sick are born with lust all the time.
Even girls are afraid to
be mothers,raise kids like these.
The power of a man lies in character
and heart but not in sexual supremacy or desires.


(Dedicated to Nirbhaya,who  was brutally raped and died fighting for her life.And all those who have been victims.Let's raise our standards and respect women everywhere ,without her there is no world.)

A very dad poem, yeah it s true that their are beast in this world, who think this to be a strong act, but they are worse, they humilate someone who s weak who can t defend herself, may God destroy them, they ruined the life of a stranger however I m new on this site and would really appreciate if you could find time to read my poems and give your honest reviews about them

Thank you for entering the contest, Kenisha and congratulations on your placement. A very sad and too-often told tale. I loved your line: "Groping and forcing on a girl does not make a man strong just proves that he is a beast." Actually, it is the weak and cowards of our gender who become the abusers. The courageous are those like you who speak out against it. Thanks. Joe
