Rape
by: Arch Nemesis
Is it not rape
draped in expectation
sugar coated with promise
then taken out of context
rape
when delicate soul issues trust
extends fortress gates for entrance
friendship molested and housed in secrecy
see
Lauryn found the joy of her world
while I found an opportunist there
3 miles south of the wind blowing from Jerusalem
offered Samaritan blessings
bathed him in oils
wrapped warm in lessons learned in Magdalene's trade
This done willingly
But is it not rape
when understanding gets drafted to war
secretly baptised in the blood of Iphigenia
Convincing enough to have Pharaoh let his morals go
As the peoplelites danced in the sea
telling tales that the opportunist once walked on Poseidon's roof tops
So
is it not rape
when freedom dangled before them for 39 nights into the journey through the wilderness
Blunt as deceptions
Used by Peter to deny me 3 times before the curtain closed
rocked me in the bossom of Abraham
gave dap to Issac
and begot a lie
Named my brother Cain
and history is what was done to me
Therefore who am I?
Dare not I call it by its name?
Rape
dressed in taxpayer's linens
Thief of Hope
painted secretly beside him
As he dined
the only one in the room
knowingly aware of his departure
Smiled boldly in our face
without a solid goodbye
Confused as to the Messiah or Judas
My wares tucked in his back pocket
Cock crows
Hung high
It was I
2days before the third
who rolled the stone away
to get back in my pride
Destroyed the evidence of him having ever made me a believer
Only to discover that my trust had died with him in the tomb
so I ask
Is that not rape
you know you're good when someone reads the 1st 5 lines and is FLOORED!
