Conjugal Rape. Poem by Michael Inioluwa Oladele

Get down to the bed
And let me make you red.
After all I’ve paid the price,
It’s time for you to pay yours

Off your clothes
And off the light.
I will kill you tonight,
And make love with all my might

Shut your mouth,
Menstruation or not
Your laps will host
Like a fired pot.

I’ve got the right
And I can use it as I like.
Every night you will lie here
And I will make love for years.

Save my father,
Save me mother
Why did you give me to this man?
Is this sex or rape?
