Raped



Torn.
Battered.
Raped.
Fair Earth lays helpless
As the Beast satisfies his devilish nature
Tearing in through her with eyes-shut
Violence and mindless intrusion.
Ceasing her virgin richness,
He colonizes her under his masculine imperiality...
Her body forced to tune
To the brutal beat of his depthless desire.
And she lay,
A carcass;
Used
Tired
Dazed
Quaking
Fainting
Dying...

About this poem
