Oh brutal beast with poisonous fangs
Your heinous deeds forever hang
You roam in the shadows of the night
Preying on the weak, causing endless plight
Innocence stolen, hope shattered
Lives that will never be the same
The scars you leave are so deep and battered
A haunting memory, a constant pain
A heart once full of love and light
Now filled with fear, sorrow, and fright
How could someone be so vile and cruel
To take away what was innocent and pure?
Oh, but the pain doesn't end there
The victim is often blamed and shamed
Their cries for help go unheard
Their voice silenced, their worth proclaimed
The aftermath of your sickening act
Leaving behind a broken soul
A life destroyed, unable to react
As you continue to take your toll
Oh, rape, you are not just an act
But a scar that never fully heals
A pain that lingers, an unending pact
With every moment, the hurt reveals
We cry for those whose voices have been silenced
For they are the ones that suffer the most
We stand in solidarity, our hearts united
Together we will fight, we refuse to be your host.
Oh, rape, you may think you have won
But we will rise above the ashes
We will mend what you have undone
And rise stronger from your vicious lashes.
So let us raise our voices high
For all the victims of this brutal crime
We will not let their spirits die
For justice and healing, we will climb.
And though the scars may never fade
We will stand tall in the face of your terror
For though you may have caused us pain
Our strength and resilience will forever be our armor.
