You Could Get Raped Poem by Seun LariWilliams

If you wear a jalabiya, you could get raped
If you wear jeans, you could get raped
If you wear a skirt, you could get raped
So, the problem is not her dressing
If you are seven, you could get raped
If you are seventeen, you could get raped
If you are seventy, you could get raped
So, the problem is not with her age
If you are Christian, you could get raped
If you are Muslim, you could get raped
If you are a juju worshipper, you could get raped
So, the problem is not her religion
If you are a mother, you could get raped
If you are a wife, you could get raped
If you are a daughter, you could get raped
So, the problem doesn't lie in her societal status
Then, what is the problem?
Why should anyone get raped?
I think I know what it is
I may be wrong anyway
It's being a WEREWOLF!
Instead of being human
Seeing her as a thing
Instead of as a woman
You are not a werewolf
You are a man
Twenty four, seven
And not just at noon
You are not a werewolf
You can stop your transformation
Any time of the day and
And even at full moon
‘No' means ‘no'
Unsure means ‘no'
You are a man
You are not a werewolf
