Silent Cries


She’s seven but she seduced me. It’s not my fault, she asked for it! RAPED Her guardians trusted me. I babysat her every day they went to work. It was convenient. RAPED She’s my girlfriend’s daughter, but she walks around the house in skimpy clothes. She practically begged for it RAPED I couldn’t help myself; her pigtails hung just enough just to arouse me. Low enough to let me know she still possessed foolery, but high enough that I understood she hasn’t reached puberty RAPED It was easy… Her parents didn’t care about her; she walked home every day by herself. I saved her RAPED He looked innocent enough. Something in my heart told me he wouldn’t tell RAPED His peers didn’t accept him. I was his only friend. I wanted to show him how much I really cared about him. RAPED He’s my nephew but I couldn’t control myself. I really tried not to; I didn’t want this to happen. RAPED Every day he mowed his lawn, he would take off his shirt. Something in the way his chest glistened in the sun aroused me RAPED He was too little to defend himself, now who would resist that? RAPED Never could they understand, the pain they inflicted The souls they’ve crushed, the dreams they tormented. They’re the people you trust; to watch your kids in your homes The people who betray that same trust and before convicted, are gone. They cry they’re the victim Those innocent faces they just couldn’t resist Those crazy thought in their heads are something they couldn’t dismiss. Never did they think about the impact it might have on others The screaming, hurting children; the sadden, distraught mothers. They are the reason some homes get broken They are the same people who made those children faces become sunken. Those children are now victims To this cruel world we all love. But before making a decision to take someone’s innocent Consult with the man above. “Not my fault, trusted, begged, I couldn’t help myself, saved, he wouldn’t tell, I really cared, couldn’t control myself, aroused me, resist” Parents… OPEN YOUR EYES. Not only should you protect your child from the Person who has been in and out of prison or convicted of being a rapist; protect them from your brother, sister, neighbor, husband, babysitter, and best friend.
