4Much much more than
A conflict of interest
Rape
A reminder of how it happens
A yacht
A man
A woman
Alone
An activity
Like any other
Away from the eyes of the innocent
The man seeks pleasure
He seeks power over this woman
Both physical and psychological
Sadistic
Though he keeps this to himself
This woman will soon learn it well
She wants a variety of things
Comfort
Security
Affection
She will get none of them
Instead
What she will receive
Is contradictory
To everything she needs
Rape
Worse
She doesn't yet know he is a sadist
Still
She says no
He says yes
He ties her hands
Below deck
Alone
Helpless
Naked
Exposed
Insecure
Scared
Uncertain of the severity of the consequences
Both physical and psychological
Mostly
She will be doomed
Alone
Scared
Never again
Trusting
Eager to place blame
She demonizes men
She becomes hateful
Of them
And herself
Confused
And lost
Life will never be the same
How can it not be?
The man
Becomes a monster
A demon
A scar
A terrible memory
Forever
The woman
Still unaware
Of what she has become
Still doubting if what happened was normal
It wasn't
None of it was
A yacht
A demon
A rape
A crime
Not a man
Not sex
Unacceptable
If that wasn't criminal
What is?
A bullet
Will be lucky
To leave such a scar
This one will wound her soul
How can one respect herself
Knowing no one else respects her?
The greatest horror the world has to offer
Is hate for yourself
Is there another way out?
Depends for who
Some have already given up
Most often
There is no escape
A new fate is sealed
Who else can be blamed but men?
Guilty
Without even realizing their true crime
Ignorance
Stupidity
Criminally insane
Victims of culture
Make victims of others
You see it on TV
Rape
In an neighborly street
Do you freak out?
No
You see this all the time
Culture
9/11
You see THAT
You freak out
Unexpected
You feel insecure
You should
Not precisely the same terrorism
The terrorists around you
The sadists
Strike every week
9/11?
Is only one date
Rape
Is always
Security?
Where?
Trust?
Who?
If not even yourself
Then who?
I know what you think
I wish I didn't
But I do
Culture
I hear it all the time
Rape
Men
They call it human nature
Not humans
Demons
Not human nature
Idiotic
Self-righteous
Immoral
The conditionings of Evil
Superiority
Beliefs of domination
And evolved morale
Nil
De-evolution
They look back at the past
Very long ago
Neolithic times
Prehistoric even
Some people may know the truth
Unlikely
Generally
Falsely advertised
The history of rape
Another invention
An excuse if you can call it that
Prehistoric times
Can be written in history
However you want it to look
Dark times?
They call those the dark ages
Not the Stone Age
How has history flawed this aspect?
They denied our ancestor's common sense
Women
Weakness?
Impossible
The lack of common sense
Lies in this culture
In this time
Not in ancient history
For the women were more important than men
By far
How can there be rape like they say?
They needed women more than anything to survive
Logically
Men had to behave
In order to survive
Hunting?
Brought food only once in a blue moon
Women fed everyone
Every day
Survival
No rape
Not in a true society
Not when everyone depended on everyone else
Not in those times
Sex
Mating
Intelligently
With concern for population growth
With concern for health
Survival
Families
No rape
Their culture or ours?
If it was theirs
20 000 years later
We still haven't learned?
Impossible
De-evolution
Relations between men and women
Demonized
Victims of culture
Is there a cure?
It exists
But it isn't widespread
Pity
Shameful to see what we accept these days
Rape
Does it make you throw up just to hear the word?
Perhaps it should
Common sense
Logic
Humanity
Dictate that rape is unacceptable
Never again will I remain impassive
To this monstrosity
Sex
Crime
So close
Yet so far
Truly misunderstood
Unacceptable
Feminist?
You need not be
What then?
What does your heart tell you?
Every day it cries to you
It wishes you to be safe
Hate seems like a logical course
Unfortunate
But unavoidable
Can this be fixed?
Perhaps time will tell
Perhaps we can make a new history
Together
Because we need each other now
Just as we did before
And just as we always will
Improvements?
Help each other
I write this to you now
A symbol of my support
Perhaps a simple poem can change the world
Should I be in a position to do more
You can count on me
Be safe
Trust in your own power
You are not alone in this
The world is constantly changing
Our problem needs to be fixed
Never believe this is normal
Convince other of this
Both men and women
And perhaps we will have
What we once had
Until then
Never give up hope
I beg you
Believe we are capable
I need you
