Despairs Of A Rape Victim Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Despairs Of A Rape Victim

Rating: 4.2


No, notso to do with the government,
With society nor system seeking rent,
Thanks, my hurts were caused by an accident.

My destiny playing a game of mirth,
An accident is it but of my birth—
Me being born a girl of little worth!

When a boy is raped by a boy hunter woman, he remembers it with naughty smiles but when a girl is raped by a she has only tears to to remember the loss of her virginity. Men are responsible for it, we all are criminals, but we should not a thing that we can not return to the loser, e.g., life and virginity of a woman.woman. A thoughtful poem by a great Indian thinker.

Here you have so touchingly delineated how a man sometimes behaves worse than a beast. It is very sad that it isn't to do with the government. Fine poem.

Yes, she is so desperately upset to say that it is no one's fault but mine, me being as a girl. Thanks dear KM.

A poignant write sir! The line, 'My destiny playing a game of mirth' makes this poem strikingly doleful...........10
