To My Rapist

Fragment images illumined A hostile sight of no mercy Found no escape, I was destined A scheme of darkest scenery Entrapped with hugs and kisses - sour A final dot of final hour. If you have mercy set me free Still a captive of disgrace A minor holding no degree You wasted with a proudly face How could you close the door and left me? Thinking okay, ignoring my plea What a view to see you dying A soulful music to my ears Is it really satisfying When dignity's stolen with fears? My life has been a poor attempt To live away with your contempt.

Those who stain the innocent with the vilest motives will surely have VIP passes to the furnace of living flames.

Thanks kapatid, Nette! I'm very well. Hope you are too. Feeling sad lang sa mga kababayan natin na affected ng Yolanda! Dimo talaga mapipigilan umiyak at gumawa ng paraan para makatulong. Sana okay kalang if you're here in the Philippines. Bless you, kapatid! Love,love,love! :-) - Den

I say, "No" to child abuse and molestation. Its a misery for a child to overcome. Who's to blame? They deserve a gift of love and security. Love,love,love! :-) - Den
