‘The violated will not
always remain a victim,
But the violator will
forever be hunted as a prey of nemesis.’ ~ Jacobs Adewale.
The
spell tarnished her innocence
With
its force so irrepressible like a cyclone
Set
out to rescind a cursed city
And
for once in her lifetime,
She
ceased to be alive.
Inside
of her were cells dead and moldering,
And
with minutes after seconds of roused horror
She
bled deep down from the cavities of her soul
For
she was violated; she was raped
Till
her semblance was mugged of cheer and replaced with fear.
With
flashes of that morose moment
Lingering
in her cranium, goading insomnia,
She
daily screams beyond the climax of her vocal cords;
Languishing
and quivering in provoked monotony.
She
ceased to believe in the existence of munificence
That
keeps the trundles of humanity spinning
For
a demon had taken over her body and soul.
Crushed,
wrecked, slashed…
…Lost
of words enough to describe her emotional entanglement.
Tears
from her eyes fled freely like ocean tides
With
torrents belligerent as volcanic eruption
And
all she could see were the prowling evil in people’s pupils
Trammeling
her path to utter serenity and succor.
Desperation
fed her hunger for retribution
But
was she insane to have let loose the loathsome host from within?
That
was too mild for an assumption I would say
For
a demon had taken over her body and soul.
A
girl, a woman had been violated,
You
would better understand its gravity in the word ‘rape’
And
in that very instance,
She
ceased to be alive.
Enslaved
by numbness as if someone sliced through her with a chainsaw
Bringing
out her viscera for mongrels to swallow;
Conquered
she was by mild lunacy
Having
to cope with the fragments of her broken heart
And
you bet lunacy was merely an irony to depict her sorry state.
Her
all was given to alcohols and cigarettes;
Fornicating
and strewing venom garnered from the devil in the shadow of men.
The
game of reprisal was on
With
fury flowing through her veins and arteries
To
have lost what was hard or never to regain -
Her
pride, her dignity, her joy and her glory;
To
have contracted acute neurosis
Beyond
the therapeutic proficiency of surgeons of this biosphere.
In
an instant, she lost everything but her thirst for payback in ferocity.
When
a woman loses her frock of exhilaration,
Taken
under duress without empathy and consideration
And
left with a cuffed willpower in desolation
What
becomes of her in the eyes of scoffers
Eagerly
anticipating her demise on the rims of ruin?
I
know not what it takes for lasses and women
Who
had once been violated and raped
To
thrive beyond all the excruciating scars there are,
And
staring earnestly at the world on the face
With
enthusiasm and optimism to live and survive for all its worth.
Some
had giving in to suicide on this path of villainy
Some
had fought and are still fighting this course of acrimony
But
to those causing havoc in the lives of women
And
delight in violating the innocence of lasses
Fated
for opulence, love, fruitfulness and greatness,
Hitherto,
never have I stopped believing in the dictum- ‘what goes around comes back
around’.
“Here is a poem
depicting imprecisely what it feels to be violated and agonizing with girls and
women who have gone through such horrific path of callousness with a clear
message for violators spelling ‘war against rape and women violation’ in all
its ramifications by men or anyone.
