(This poem was written in memory of all those who have lost their lives due to defilement, all those who are battling complications, battling stigmatization, battling injustices due to defilement, and rape. You have done nothing wrong, you are just unfortunate souls caught in the traps of the wicked. The wicked who one way or the other will pay for your hurt.)
Roses have thorns of protection
Fishes have fins
Tortoises have hard shells
So why did you create a pot with no protective fence?
II
You made us softer like moist clay
You made us fragile like cotton in the wind
With huge responsibilities of making the world
You made us houses with no wire fences
You made us vulnerable to pests and preys and parasites
What was your plan?
III
A youngster lies in her struggling bed
Her pride box broken into by one with your will
One with a talking conscience
One who knows the boarders of hurt and dishonour
One whose land lord umbrellas him from the rains of justice
Oh your architecture might have had an error!
Blasphemy, I know
But even you can’t tamper with a writer’s licence in freedom
IV
Look and make us your experimentation
To build better us in future days
So claws can fence holes of pleasure
In our proper protection
Look and make them your experimentation
To give proper locks in future
So in their wake with horror intents
Their locks will hold them in
That will only be fair
That will surely be fair
That will certainly be fair
In this jungle of struggle

Perfect for me today in a personal way that’s too much for here. Those who hold the umbrellas are kin of the predators themselves and someday, everything hidden will be revealed. Predators are protected in our culture because our culture has also, become predatory. Maybe it always was and it is the flood of information and media that is magnifying them. I guess, that may also, be part of the revealing. Very powerful poem.

It is a very touchy issue. The worst sin is the law preventing justice. Let’s keep strengthening the media. They are helping the vulnerable mostly in recent times. I am glad I struck a cord in you. Blessings always.

It made me think of an old post that I just reposted. Sadly, the U.S. has lots of laws to protect children but the system is overwhelmed now and the laws are arbitrarily applied. Pedophiles have infiltrated the system and use the system to find children to sell and abuse. We are a sexually insane culture right now. It’s going to take more than law to straighten things out. We need God.

The US is not the only country suffering from this. It is happening the world over. We sure need God.
