I’ve never understood how a man could
rape a woman.
I’ve never understood how a man could
violate a woman despite her protests,
pleadings, cries and screams.
You have to be a soulless fucking monster,
evil and heartless as a goddamned demon
to attack and harm a woman like that,
to inflict emotional scars on her that I
imagine last for her entire life.
In my opinion, a rape is in a way worse than
a murder.
When murdered, you don’t have to live
with the anguish for the rest of your life.
And were I able to change the laws, I’d
make the penalty for rape as severe as
that of murder.

Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
