Rape -By Ubong Usoro

A tale she read, about a life story
This whole thing is about a girl who lost her glory

While she was in a state of rest
A sister’s brother, a monster and beast

She, young, dense and free
He stole her pride and laree
He, a trusted member of her community
That moment stoled her sanity

After the disgusting encounter, she cagged up
Unable to disclose to friends and family, bottled up
The society blamed her for indecency
Oh! She’s responsible for her pregnancy

The flames of guilt, burn her blood
Her soul, back and thought are on the floor
Pleading against the allegations
While he is concerned about his reputation

This dark dream most be brighted
Not so, she now is a captive
The child accepted but not wanted
Oh! She is also H(you know) positive

Now is now time to seek the Divine
Here, to find care and olivine
Families and friends will never understand her pain
A badge she most carry with stain
