CANKERWORM

With tears in my eyes, I screamed:

No! Please, No.

As I kicked and struggled relentlessly,

It was as though he was deaf,

Like he couldn't hear me

He didn't stop, didn't slow down.

His assaults we're brutal.

I bore the whole brunt of his weight

But it was like I couldn't feel it.

The fight in me began to die down.

I had never felt so weak.

As hot tears fell from my eyes,

I felt helpless and numb.

And when he was done, 

I looked back at the woman in the mirror

A harsh humorless laugh tore from my throat 

And I couldn't decide who the monster was,

Was it him, or was it me?.

Lots of people, male and female inclusive, are victims of rape in our society. This nuisance has been around for ages and people suffer unimaginably from the aftermath. These innocent souls have to carry this disgustingly wicked act as a smear on their lives forever, struggling, fighting so hard to outlive it and hoping to God that one day, they're able to escape from the bloodsucking claws of the experience that has firmly shut their mouths and made it impossible to scream for help.

We need to understand that nothing! Absolutely nothing can excuse rape. Saying that rape is totally animalistic and inhuman would be putting it very lightly. Subjecting another human being to such a degrading experience can never be excused.

I earnestly pray for these souls that carry these scars, that God will heal them and help them recover and stop blaming or hating themselves, that they find a way for their heads to come up above the water and they can breathe again. 

Yours Always,

Ogbonnia H.D


THIS IS THE GOSPEL AGAINST RAPE. A FIGHT AGAINST RAPE! 

P.S: Let us understand that this is a very sensitive subject and must be seen as such. Until next time, peace! 😍

    Rape is as worse a crime as murder.
    The Humiliation, Invasion and emotional damage the person gives is off the charts..
    Killing the person mentally and gives them a sense of hopelessness..

    It's surely a pandemic to be solved.

    Louder Please.
    There are no words to describe how filthy and insane rape is.

    As always, thank you for your invaluable contributions, Larry. ❤️

They're scared of you little black girl, When you walk the streets with your back pack on your back, When you hold your head high in your well ironed shirt and your skirt swishing around your knees.  They feel intimidated by you but you don't even know it.  You try to compare yourself to them little black girl, you try to be what you're not, when indeed you're certainly all you'll ever need. Your beauty and awesomeness robs them of their speech but you don't understand little black girl, that they want to be like you, hell, what they wouldn't give to be you but you're just thinking you're a wannabe. They envy you, when you put your gloves on and keep fighting, when you protect and defend your dignity and when you give your best for humanity. You don't know that they're scared of you little black girl cause your blackness is so immaculate and enchanting. Never think you're not enough little black girl, because your DNA consists...

A NEW MONTH, A NEW OPPORTUNITY

Life, in all its unpredictability, has a way of teaching us lessons when we least expect it. It challenges us, stretches our limits, and sometimes even breaks us. Yet, in the midst of it all, we find the strength to rise. We find the resilience to keep going. And we find the power to embrace new opportunities, even when they seem daunting. This past month has been one of learning. To find peace in the chaos, to celebrate small victories, and to recognize that growth isn’t always about moving forward at full speed. Sometimes, growth happens in the quiet moments, in the pauses between the noise. It’s in the decisions to keep going, even when the road seems uncertain. I’ve come to realize that every new day, every new month, is an invitation to be better, to do better, and to live with intention. It’s a fresh start, an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and step into something greater. And this month, I choose to embrace that with open arms. These are my sincere prayers for...
