This Woman
This Woman!
Raped beyond pity
Her previously pointing twins
Stretched beyond elasticity limits
One, to Northern excessively burning bushes
The other, to South-Southern malnourished fishes
This Woman!
Whose once-upon-a-time chic cheeks
kissed, teased, now pierced to bleed
Blood, tears, even with running nostrils
This Woman!
Her lying thighs with supposed Apologists turn Rapists
This woman!
Drugged to a seemingly permanent sleep
This woman!
Brutally massaged deep, deep.
She lay bare, plunged by Leeches
She's vulnerable, drunk on Whiskey
No form to call-back her senses
Or even guard her helpless defenses
This Woman!
Beaten and smitten by aged Cankerworms
In feathers, harshly gathered against her norms
Of Justice, Equity, Peace and Love
This Woman!
4 times 54 times; gang-raped
By some tumbling wobbling human 'ape'
Looted her treasured cave-
Muted her lettered babes
This Woman!
Wake, Walk, Stop being down-pinned!!
This woman!
Pick-up the shattered pieces
Of the counts-reeled by Injustice
This Woman!
Arise with shield and Buckler
Let yours hands meet, conquer
Oh you sleeping Giant in tatters
Arise! Arise!! Arise!!!
