Coming to terms with the starkest reality
a child born of rape
in a country whose laws
allow rapists rights
to become a father
the victim
was made to carry the baby
9 months of pregnancy
those inhibitions
That pent up anger
that vitriol
The so awful pain as his prodigy
surfaced
from growing inside her
to exiting when
his baby it cried
by my side
it was like him
nothing like Me
That truth she denied.
