The Rapist.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Rapist....

Rating: 2.5


the high school
student was charged with rape
by a married woman who was
unhappy with her old husband
who is bald and
ugly but rich and landed
and tired,

she said he turned off the light
and went wild with his lust
and gobbled her trust
and that she was ruined

he said she seduced her to have his
first flesh
and which out of fear he refused
and

scorned she became a dragon spewing
lava and breathing fire

seven years he suffered in jail
until a judge filled with wisdom
set him free

justice still served though
late

and he cried after
justice delayed is no longer justice
that he long deserved.
