This poem is part of the series on the Global Exploitation of Women.

1. Rape is a severely under-reported crime with surveys showing dark figures of up to 91.6% going unreported.
2. A United Nations statistical report compiled from government sources showed that more than 250,000 cases of rape or attempted rape were recorded by police annually. The reported data covered 65 countries.
3. 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed, 2.8% attempted).
4. Every 98 seconds another American is sexually assaulted.

I have seen how the definition of this heinous act has degraded over the years. Initially, just being raped was a taint to someone soul and body and now as the humanity degrades further and flushes the morals down the drain even more, just being alive after being raped is considered “lucky”. So where are we heading?

You are broken and
crumbled…
