The Reality Of Rape: A Poem Out Of Anger

From the dour coloured walls she emerges
From a long day at work, a cab driver she urges
To drop her off at home, he obliges
With a glint in his eye, secretly he disguises
A motive, a plan, to do what he pleases
To her, he goes off the route. He catcalls, he teases
He brings in his backup of sleazes.
They lunge at her with lightning speed
She screams in terror, she begins to plead
It’s all on deaf ears, they pay no heed.
The horrific aftermath of what they do to her
cannot be described, she is demure
Left on the roadside, left to her fate
She silently cries, she thinks it’s her mistake
And now it’s too late, she’s taken the bait
She’s found herself in this miserable state.
The monsters of this crime, they’re not afraid
Born to politicians, they’ll make up some charade.
And at the end of it all, they’ll come out unscathed.
