A poem about the denial of rape.
At the last moment, a cry in the dark

"What next, O Lord, what next?"

Innocence never to be avenged

A the last moment, a tear in the dark

"How long, O Lord, how long?"

Injustice never to be rectified

Never a wrong or right answer, no good solution to the problem

The problem

the problem

"It's not that big a deal; it happens to everyone."

Keep it secret

Hide the pain, the blemish, the anger, the the ache

hide yourself and the evidence of rape

It.

Means.

Nothing.
