Rape

Don't we all

Sometimes take things forcefully

When not given

Even in the mind?

I love this short powerful question. Right now people are going wild in this country becuz of sexual abuse . . . but there are some voices that warn about taking this too far, not acknowledging the part we've all played in this culture, etc. I've been trying to find a way to write about my own rampant childhood abuse, but then I went on to hurt others, becuz hurt people hurt people. Your statement here is the crux of what I want to say & you've said it so well & so succinctly (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Succinctly put & very much to the point although informed consent always makes any transaction or exchange meaningful, honourable and even more to the point, legitimate..............Neville

Rapists are cowards who hide behind their pretentious supposed good character

[Mirror]

Stuck your neck out with this one.
But you're a hundred percent right.
It's not far from the mind at some point in life.

[Mirror]

Yes, Paul. I had to reaaaaalllly reason this poem out. It is so not far from the mind, dear. Thank you for reading.

What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine. A toddler mentality, course aren't we always looking at others and fantasizing? Or talking someone into something they don't really want to do.

Always and with love

Indeed tis so true and told so well in this tight package of poetry dear Mirror.

Thank you John. *Winks.

Loved this piece. And so it's true. We've all done it in some way or the other. Rape isn't always committed sexually.
