[hometext] => Just recently I have read a lot of poems about rape.It is something that has always angered me.This is just my way of saying sorry to all the people that have had to go through this terrible ordeal.I hope you find the strength you need to carry on
[bodytext] => 4 letters, such a small word for something so cruel This most despicable of crimes, the one they call rape A union of feelings should be given as a gift Not taken, violated like the ransack of a tomb Bruises on the outside eventually will heal Inside the hurt, the torment,will always remain A life buried under the rubble of despair A spirit imprisoned with mental scars I read the morning paper and hold my head in shame Another of my gender leaves his black mark on the world A woman to me is beauty, a smile and a sweet caress Do not give her a demon to carry on her back Those eyes that plead for it all to stop Should be filled with passion and a river of love The beast that rises and falls, grunts approval at his task Will later fuel fires of mistrust To the victims I am sorry For the lack of self control If justice prevails the sentence is passed But how little it will balance the scales What is truly just is perhaps not humane Yet no more inhuman than the deed itself For those that suffer but deal with it somehow Rape is more than just a crime [comments] => 6 [counter] => 171 [topic] => 6 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
