Brock Turner Poem by Khadija Islam

I took her pride,
her respect,
her dignity away.
Because I could.
Because it happens.
My father stood by me,
because I couldn't be jailed
for a '20 minutes action.'
My parents are worried about my safety,
help me I am a rapist!
I am a smart student and I am white,
of course the judges will be kind.
I've served only for 3 months,
although they've written it worse.
Now listen to me you upcoming rapists,
rape someone and you will get away
because it happens.
