Diction Of Rape Culture Pyramid Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

O miracle of women! Look at the weal
your harsh words have cut at my open heart.
With what balm the injury you could heal?
Still your eyes make surging feelings by the dart!

I'm not a vermin to make an alarm
striking fear and terror in your mind
or to send lewd words and morphed pictures to harm.
No lover bullies or blackmails, so be kind.

Did you ever feel I cast a toxic spell?
I didn't deck your beauty with rape jokes.
I don't sham since in my heart you dwell
and for writing poems you're the muse, my mind invokes.

He is not a lover if one shows behaviour rude and mean
and she is not his love if she flouts moral norms clean.
