'Rape is rape'
Daddy's sweetness.      timothy r gates, 3/21/2013
uncle's unintentions
like some priests and rabbis
(convenient for a catch all referencing)
not unlike Washington's dry eyes,
sending our children
off to their wars.
Why?
Because they can.
"Rape is not always rape,"
not unlike other ignorance --
"She dressed like she wanted it"
"It's her fault, she said yes at first"
"She was flirtatious"
(also said by pedophiles)
Politicians and courts
buy violators of personhood,
their opulent indulgence
makes them unable to see,
vying for their own entitlements
telling the rest to screw off.
Rapists rape
Pedophiles rape
Ill? Hell yes.
Thieves of innocence? You betcha.
Worse? Legislators legislating second chances.
