(untitled)

She arrives at the hospital
Driven by her brother
She lies on her back
About to become a mother

She knows not the father
But Why?
She thinks she knows him
Why would she lie?

Yes, She was raped
She knows not the guy
Yes, She was raped
This is no lie

Hours later,she births a baby boy
Her face filled with disgust
She bursts into tears
Remembering every painful thrust

Now she lies in her bed
Adoption, her baby has been given
It was a blessing she did not know
The father was the man who had driven
