I’d Rather Not Say

You hadn’t figuratively kicked her in her teeth
Her mouth was so damaged as to not let her speak
You said she had no name and no family to keep
Claiming she indigent living on the street

What the fuck is wrong w/you sheep?
Every night she was curled up in the corner & did weep
The rape kept occurring over & over in her sleep
Justice to be righted or all life will be denied then

You gripped her nightmares & exploited her inner personal dreams
Saying you doing a favor was far from the reality of things
The ones willing to pay w/their lives to not have her survive
For the shame they carry beyond any horror story to vary

Shame on this society that rather cull than come clean
Shame on the people that are corrupted for corporate greed
Shame on the friends who allow the foe to manipulate the control
Shame on the struggle in vain when absolutely nothing remains the same

My bitterness is the reaction to the literal abuse & neglect that continues every day i open my eyes to wishing i was dead instead of this fucked up reality to be “read.”
