Rapture For Rapists

Everything you did to me
Is already done to you
What a weak man it takes to rape
You can never take my essence
In fact your muddy mutters rather
Sound like desperate crimson cries of an infant
One who had too little of this too much of that
And still your parents are not your scape goat

You choose to try and take what is lacking inside of you
You refuse to strive and make your soul worthy of a view
that even sinners have a shot at redemption and forgiveness
So as sordid sips and Freudian slips you dip inside ME
trying to find YOU...oh lost soul.

Here is what happened to me 
after the rain shame and defeat dissolved

I remained a level of anger that is 
quiet and reserved but strong as in an activist
You can not take my innocence for your strength
It does not work that way for I am a magnet
I pull your strength and grew the balls 
you wish you had to be a real power
that flesh between us is temporary
but the soul we have is eternal
and you stain yours with cruelty and lack of worth.

I keep being embarrassed to be a male. My gender has a problem. Evolution screwed up somehow. We're not all bad. Sorry you came across a misogynist. All my poems are short and I wrote one called "Extension event" to express my anger. It's in my list if you want to read it.

Thanks for reading and sharing. I love short poems! I look forward to reading more of yours! And thanks for being one of the good guys. I feel your heart even online. I know not all guys are bad just as all women aren't good.

Out of the mire, water lilies grow and bloom....they find the strength to face life with positivity. Such are the thoughts which cross my mind as I read this expressive poem, Karen. I admire you for the way you have dealt with this situation. ~ Wishing you all the best in life // paul

Very strong and deeply defiant, if I used that word correctly. To stand up and face these horrific acts takes a certain will and strength. Bravo on this.
