Raped

A woman was raped in a nearby village

They said she was strangled to death

Before getting laid

I rushed to go into the scene

And I stumbled upon a horrible sight

There, in the lush of tall grasses near the basin

Lies the woman

Breathless and her clothes were gone

The mark on her neck is deep and swelling

She indeed really met a painful end

Her face painted the struggle of her horrible death

Her mouth was open  and  her eyes were half close

Staring directly at the houses near the main road

She must have tried to seek for help as she gasps for air

But to no avail

For the houses where hundreds of meters away

The place is cold and so was the corpse

The life that dwelt within the body is gone

Her soul is now with the Good Lord

Now she is safe from the perils of this world

For her finite time is done

I watched as the officers covered her body

The people's eyes were fixed in the concealed corpse

As the officers carry the body towards the road

I know the woman, I met her many times

This explains why I have a heavy feeling inside

I returned to my place and people there started to ask

"Have you seen the woman?, How did she die?"

I sat in my chair and rest my arms in the table

Desperately trying to soothe this heavy trouble

Too heavy for my soul to bear

My neighbor's then started to talk

About how many women end on the same fate

And what are the reasons for such

"That's what they get for wearing pekpek shorts"

"Girls nowadays wears vulgar clothes"

"When they are raped it's their fault"

"They should have think twice before wearing such clothes"

"That's what they get when they act like a prostitute"

I broke my silence and looked them in the eye

"She doesn't deserve the way she died"

"And No she doesn't wear any vulgar wear!"

"For her body is covered and she wears a veil!"

"She's a virtous woman"

"She isn't a prostitute because she's a nun"

What followed next was silence, a deafening silence

To speak another word no one dared.......
