how
I felt after he took my "pride",
the
pearl of my life,
every
woman's "pride"
trampled with so much disdain,
leaving
me in blood stains
from
the broken walls of my vagina,
Heaven
remained shut at my prayer,
so
it seemed for I; crying, shouting,
screaming yet no Helper
to
pull me from underneath a man
whose
lustful thrusts that afternoon
would
leave me frightened
at
the hearing of a male voice.
I
am still yet to come to terms that it
is a cross
I
must excruciatingly bear,
here
in a world that labels me a whore:
that
says I am the cause of his failure
to
keep his libido in check or listen to twerp
talk such as "I must cover up
else
I deserve whatever I lure" ~
such
patriarchal nonsense
from
persons who without shame,
continue to posit vain and lame
arguments
as reasons he robbed
my
innocence -

It was the year nineteen sixteen (1916),
I
was only fifteen,
a
blossoming young girl
with
so much hopes of a well
tailored
life for a towering future -
hardly
would a girl my age dare
"think
[herself] a bird" to share
a
stage in a man's world so-called,
she
must braze herself up for a cloud
of
detractors should
she
make it out of that village in Paga
where
still, the boy-child is rather
the
preference to some sort of education.
Pardon
the digression,
that
rode with it black-dark-grim
spells
in an attack greatly foul,
and
left my pure soul
scared,
spirit heavily broken
and
my womanhood stolen:
he
entered my room, locked the door,
held
me brutally on the floor -
I
can still remember myself say
in
a faint voice - Jesus -
hoping
that in my breathless
state
Help would come my way
to
rescue me from a man whose
d**k
left more than wounds
in
the broken walls of my vagina -
my
very being crushed as the World Trade Center.
Sadly
you are part of the problem -
when
you shift the burden of responsibility from
him,
posit that we "cover up" or blame
our
parents of failing to train us well enough,
designing
excuses for psychopaths.
You
are the problem when you make
the
onus of controlling one's demons
that
of the raped and not the rapists -
I
hope you get it, if not check
yourself
because we all have
the
responsibilities to protect, save,
the
boy-child especially the girl-child
from
God forsaken deranged morons:
pedophiles,
rapists and hobbyists
Not
forgetting that I was only fifteen
with
beautiful imaginations of a teen,
as
your girl-child,who may not survive
the
kicking, beating or revive
from a broken wall of her vagina.
