Rape
A Violent Act that traumatises
Day in day out we hear of Your Cruel Acts on
Our Women, Children and Grannies
You are a brutal blight on Our society, Whereby You Leave
Behind a trail of trauma
In homes You are there – fathers and uncles turned into
Monsters Who devour their families…
Children are sent to school to learn, but their guardians
take advantage of them because of you rape
You ripped the dignity of manhood out of men
Alcohol Abuse And Substance Abuse are found to be
perpetrating the disgusting act you are
The scourge you have become, you brought nothing but shame
and uncertainty to communities, who should protect these
Women, Children and Grannies when those who suppose to
Protect are the one’s abusing
Rape enough is enough about you
Why the horrible act you are, is committed to the defenceless
We’ve had too much tears on our fabric, because of the
Cruel Monster you are, a national outcry
Until when they will cry through those they know and trust
the cause being you rape.
A poem by Isaac Mbilini
