Delusional

After reading comments

on a poem about rape

this lack of sleep fuelled

afternoon

I lost hope for humanity

this becomes more frequent

as days progress in an ignorant age

one comment stated that women

should dress properly

another wrote in capitals

you should not tempt us

what self satiating fools

who would destroy a person

for their own sick search of power

may I remind them

rape happens to men

as well as women

it is a violation

of someone's body and mind

their space and life

a diabolical act

of non consensual degradation

it has nothing to do with clothes

or lack of them

nothing to do with behaviour

or temptation

it is an act of violence

a criminal invasion

to the core of soul

that some fools would even utter

such spine chilling atrocities

jars my bones

in this world of injustice
