Poetic Perspective: Sexual Encounter & Noura …Of Sudan: Attacked, Abused, Assaulted … Anti-social … Abominable…
It was quite a thrill between us
Yes! Sharing pillow with Venus
“She threw her leg on my thigh
Climaxed … to a sexual high …
Tears flowed like juices …
The amorous situation seduces
Why did it take us so long …?
Was waiting to be love strong …?
My partner, flooded in tears …
To that we say hip, hip, cheers …
Glad we did not rush encounter
It would have been a plunder …
The timing was just right …
Taking emotions to new height
Yet there was no rape …
Patience dictated by fate …”
Someone related the above act
It was indeed a fact …
These were their actual words …
To think otherwise is absurd.
Let us switch gears to Sudan
A victim, a sordid situation …
Noura a helpless victim of rape
Where backwardness is her fate
Sudanese law endorses rape …
Marital rape they do tolerate …
Yes, by statute they legislate …
It is as if women are commodity
This is a crazy modernity …
Forced into marriage at fifteen
Held down for rape at nineteen
Stabbed attacker … her “man”
Sentenced for murder to hang ..q
Justice for Noura in case of rape
She was victim in above case …
Sudanese law allows atrocity …
Noura was held down violently
Shocking conduct by siblings …
Holding down Noura for rape?
With complicity by her siblings
Party to such, without feelings …
Being complicit in rape …
An atrocity to ever berate …
Such is a backward case …
One, we should not tolerate ….
By making Noura rape baited….
And consenting also to be baited
These folks … likely inebriated
Indoctrinated in a crude culture?
Sex encounter should be good …
Only for Noura not as it should
She was sexually violated …
Attacked, abused, assaulted …
Such is anti-social behaviour …
Not condoned by Our Saviour …
He ordained marriage as legal
Endorsed wine to make it regal
He wants sex to be consensual
Consummating the nuptial …
Forced marriage He condemns
Inhuman as it condescends ….
“Do unto others as if we’re you “
Such an edit is not new …
God is not for violating dignity
He endorses, decorum, decency.
Ah, ah, ah ….
Commentary
The attack on Noura of Sudan is
an assault, she was abused, anti-social and abominable. When will Sudan come into the 21st century? We hope soon.
