 Why, Oh Why? By: Noah Eaton 11/13/01 Doves have fallen at your feet Angels all seem to have lost their wings You clutch your hand over your breaking heart Perforated by a lethal plague The days seem so long You’re the victim of a bitter crime You think you’ve had too much Of this life… I hear all your cries I see you bury your head in your hands When will we ever stop Be raped? Why can’t it stop? Why can’t it stop? Chivalry seems but a dead ghost Is there anyone we can trust in anymore? I turn away and tuck my head And I cry…I cry You stand in a world of insomnia Haunted by flashbacks in black and white You haven’t eaten in days, you’re walking nightmares Of this life… When will this all stop? When will we seek saved? Oh God, when will we ever stop Be raped? All the shame All the pain All the self-destruction All the devastation All the disbelief All the misery All the suicide Why God, why? Now you’re on your own Hiding your disease Molested by lechery Who will save you? Shame, shame, shame Oh, the pain You feel there’s no dignity at all In your life When will this all stop? Tell me…when will we be saved? Oh God, when will we ever stop Being raped? When will it stop? Oh no When will it stop? Oh no Why can’t it stop? Why can’t it stop? Oh, the shame, oh the pain Why can’t we stop being raped? Why… Why… Why God, why? |

*sigh* this is a poem that I can fully understand. It will not stop until man becomes less animal and more human. The shame in it is how the women who suffer from this crime are made to feel it is their own doing. I know from reading the work of so many wonderful men here at Passions that there are many men we can still give our trust to. nough said. A powerful poem that will touch many. Well written, Noah. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

It's difficult to see any end to this kind of madness. Perhaps when earth implodes or explodes and mankind is no more? You have a very kind heart, Noah, and empathy to spare. I cannot even count the numbers of women I know personally who have suffered this despicable crime. |

Thank you so much for caring Noah...this is such a violent crime. If more people had such open hearts as your own...I don't understand it either...but know that I embrace you for being so gentle with your feelings. {Hugs}...Peace to you sweet poet. Sincerely, Regina |
