While Being Raped

While Being Raped While being raped yell fire! Neighbors fear for their property not you Remember firemen have axes also To chop his thingy in two While being raped defecate and urinate To break the mood Remember who is being rude This is not a date While being raped bring out the mace Spray it in the eyes and face Become an animal An animal is attacking you While being raped have a conversation “Mr. Rapist?” “Do you have VD too?” He’ll get the clue Ask him if he’s using rubbers While being raped the one real truth to know Rape is not a sex or passion crime Clearly it’s an act of violence, brutality and power From cowards with their malice While being raped it wouldn't hurt to use your keys Have some expertise in self protection It only takes a moment, a maneuver to fight & defeat To find release and flee While being raped, change into another person You simply can’t be sweet You are fighting for your life Become a monster. That monster needs fear to feed While being raped, save your prayers for later Drink at home when possible Look alive when you’re outside with a friend by your side Acknowledge there is evil. Rape is not the only crime *A note to readers: Sadly, the judicial system and law enforcement still define rape as a sex crime. It is not. It is the opposite. Laws have to be changed to designate it and define it for what it truly is; a hate crime, a human rights violation, an act of brutality and violence. My deepest apologies go out to those of you who may have been victimized by this horrific crime. Thank you for reading my works. Earl
