Top Shaggers

At first we felt a clear hot rage.

This girl.
Torn into hysterics.
But not beyond reasonable doubt.

Fear Response
Freeze
A mind grasps it’s body tight
Brain-stem trained by centuries
In how useless it is to fight.

But where justice
Is hewn from happenstance
Consent is an irrelevance.

But those boys

Raised on porn and privilege
Paying for impunity
In more ways than one.

We have let them down too.
We have let them all down.
We turned blind scoffing eyes as they grew
Unfettered.
Uninformed.

We let it happen.
