Rape Rocks

Amidst the turmoil of running feet Vile words instead of flowers under trees Poison flooding homes An under-age girl half naked is found on the street. She stumbles on rickety knees This ageless is still in the womb Years end and re-start For her no more than 6 years have passed. The shirt reaches no further than her navel A swollen perched on wasted legs She staggers towards the traffic to beg She has lived as if for a 100 years. A lurching corpse Unable to hold the weight of her Trying to feed herself in a world that feasts on flesh.
