Who Gaze Upon A Woman Shamed

Who gaze upon a woman shamed? Her clothes torn off, as she’s unnamed. Her flaming hair pulled into pain. Cattle calling, cheering insane. The taunts and tortures of the beast. He’s in heat - her flesh, he feasts. Who will save her? The whisperer will lead her home, flames gently comb, as he wipes tears, removes all fears. He adorns her in clothes of white. Crystal clear, gives her back her sight. Unique to her, a lovely name. Her hair matches the Spirit’s flame. The beast will eternally drown in leaping, thrashing fire - downtown. All who played his game, likewise sink, and in their own foul stench, they stink, deeper and deeper into chains. Forever and ever, God reigns. Who will save them? What is outcome? Play Satan’s game? Blind, deaf, dumb, lame, is what you chose, and ashen clothes.

reminds me a tad of the woman shamed in the scarlet letter. I love the whisperer who offers hope and is a savior figure of sorts...a magnificent word choice and symbol. Nicely done...have a great evening, Sara

This poem appears to depict a scene of a woman who has been shamed, humiliated, and subjected to abuse by a beast-like figure. Despite the torment she faces, there is a glimmer of hope offered by a character referred to as "the whisperer." This figure seems to act as a savior, leading the woman away from her suffering, wiping away her tears, and restoring her dignity... I am not sure if it is about sexual harassment, but it is not fair how women are treated by some men.. you wrote this very well
