OXYMORON

Rape. Rape. Rape. Rape. Rape.
Such a dirty word
Rape, raped, rapist, the rapist (rapes).
It’s taboo status, so absurd
Raping, the rapist, the-rapist, rapes’.
How 4 letters can so unnerve
Rape/rape/rape/rape. RAPED.
Ergo the victims, exist unheard.

Rape. rApe. raPe. rapE. rape.
Is it really any wonder?
Rape, raped, rapist, the rapist (rapes).
So few victims seek out justice
Raping, the rapist, the-rapist, rapes.
Surrounded by the low tender thunder
Rape/rape/rape/rape. RAPED!
Of slut shaming, victim blaming culture.

Rape. Rape. Rape. Rape. Raped;
Ladies, be demure and drink responsibly
Raped. Raped. Raped. Raped. Raped.
‘Non consensual sex’ is born of culpability

Yet another artist screaming (colourfully) into the void. I like to dance. I write. I do self portraiture and i draw... I cover topics ranging from racial bias to female sexuality to capitalism to rape culture and of course, love ❤️
