When a friend betrays
or an acquaintance assaults
or a stranger attacks
or a protector turns to predator
Her inner peace is shattered
Her very soul is violated
She sobs with a grief
Wondering what to do
What if this
What if that
Wondering what will they say
Would they believe me or not
Would they blame me or not
Soon she feels dirty
Soon she feels alone
Rape is a calamity
That strikes with brutality
To all types of victims
They need our empathy
They need our sympathy
Our unconditional assistance
