Raped But Still Asleep
There is a beautiful girl
she sleeps with doors open
goes to streets with chest bare
dances without training
Raped wherever she goes
and defiled in sleep, Darkland!
her clothes taken away
shoes go, bear feet she goes
but she has never woken up
she trusts those with her
yet they are the gold diggers
journalists fear to pen incidents
they enjoy the story and giggle
Come on, poor sleepy girl
When will you wake up?
when shall you grow up?
age to age you are tortured
Do you enjoy the rape?
learn kick-boxing today
send those attackers away
Control your holy body
that sacred gift from God
let no none use it anyhow
for selfish gains and want
as you suffer shameful pain
Stand firm and say “NO”
