Fading Pride

A Rape Awareness Poem to Help Fight for Women's Rights in Countries That Still See Women as Nothing

All she does is standwith her back towards the light.Her face buried in her handsAs she carries on her fight.

Her tears could fill an ocean wideHer screams, a grandfather clock.

She’s waiting as her pride

Fades away with ticks and tocks.

Her body scarred with purple and blue

The blood running down her cheek

She could try and sue

But she’s only worth 50 sheep!

If people only knew

What she could provide

All the things that she could do

Her words could make you wise.

Her stories could fill a thousand books,

Her knowledge, the entire world.

But ragged and shabby are her looks,

Dirty dress and hair that’s curled.

If only she hadn’t done it!

If only someone said no!If only someone was watching,

Then she wouldn’t have had to go!

Help her in her fate

And millions of woman more,

To strive once again

As the rooster gives its call.

Stand up for the rights of this girl

And help keep her safe.Because she, like many others

Is a victim, of rape.
