Rape! Devilish Act Of A Human

Rape! Devilish Act Of A Human

3 mins
198

As she fought and cried for help,

They clenched her hands towards her back,

Tied up her feet with her own scarf,

And shut her mouth with an adhesive tape.


She was crying, struggling, begging,

She was desperate, Running out of tears,

But those high profile men were lighting their cigarettes

Blowing out smoke on her face, and

Liquor was adding to their wilderness.


Suddenly the car stopped at a bungalow

In the outskirts of the city,

The tallest of the three lifted her in his lap

Took her up and here she was thrown on a bed

Like a lump.

Fear, terror enveloped her mind,

Her heart Throbbed with highest ever speed.

Helpless to this extent, never she had felt.


Her body was going numb

And the wilderness in the three minds was

Gradually turning a human into a beast.

With scary thoughts, what would happen next, when

Suddenly something hot and burning touched her breast

And some sharp teeth were bitting in between her legs

She screamed out of the pain but

None was around to hear her voice.

She was now lying on the floor nude, helpless

Even struggling to breathe.


One held her face upright and there was

A sudden sharp cut on her lips, the other

Was pressing her breasts roughly,

And the third entered her body

Thrusting deeper and harder.

Crushing her soul over and over,

They took their turns in a similar fashion.

She was losing her consciousness and

Was hardly able to move.

Her breast, her body, was bruised and burnt.

The devil had once again won his game.

Humanity was crushed and thrown in the gutter.


Darkness had enveloped her whole mind,

Something hot was oozing out from in between her legs,

She was ripped apart, so was her soul and esteem.

In a semiconscious state, wrapped in a bedsheet

She was slipped in the car.

The cigarettes were still burning in their hands

And bottles still in their mouth.

There was a pin drop silence inside the car

But the sound of wheels on the road was

Crushing her mind again and again.

The tears were washing the wounds aimlessly.


Suddenly the car stopped, the tall guy again lifted her

And quietly placed her on a bench in the park.

The night was at its peak and it was pitch dark.

Struggling hard, she somehow managed

To sit on the bench.

Unbearable pain and crushed soul washed her face

With unstoppable tears.

She looked around, it was a river bank.

Something struck her mind, and

She waited for the first sun beam to signal

The rise of a new day.


Her eyes were badly sunken and thoughts

Shaken, shattered.

Gathering herself with a heavy heart,

She took out a paper and wrote in blood,

“Mom, Dad, I am sorry for being overconfident.

I paid the price for not following your instructions.

Trust boys to a limit, the extremity is dangerous, 

Relationship between two sexes should have a limit,

These all were your words.

I trusted their words, and ignored yours.

Today, my trust has been breached.

Forgive me, if you can”

Placing the note inside the cloth that was

Hiding her nudity, she moved towards the river steps.

Every step the pure water was covering her nudity

Till she hugged the smooth and silent surface of the river.


Who was raped, a human soul

Or the humanity, the society, the values, or the age old culture.

Who other than us is responsible for losing our ethics.

The priorities, the values are shifting.

The man started his journey from a beast millions of years before.

If life is a circle, so probably may be the universe.

Now the journey is from a human to a beast.

But there is still time to rise! time to think! Time to be a genuine a human being,

Call is on to us, to humans, no one else !!!!!!
