Rape victims go unsupported
Rape is a crime, under reported
Men act like their image is being extorted
Western society is supportive of rape
Evidenced, by all the red tape
Rape victims become the scape
Goat, blame couldn't escape
After a woman is raped by a man
The press make her famous like Cannes
Reporters would sell their moms for a story
To make it sell, they make it all gory
If a man is raped by another man
It's bad copy, or a worse seller than
If a child is raped, then well
Suddenly there's a salacious story to tell
The press term this "the public's best interest"
A ploy to make this your business
Blame you for the media's sickness
Public consumption is their own gift at Christmas
Western society, plagued by violence
Promoted through, a conspiracy of silence
The press don't tell the tough news
There's rarely follow-up of critical views
Bad police attitudes of victims of rape
Like victims don't have enough on their plate
To be grilled like you are the criminal
To face hostility, real or subliminal
Police wrongly accuse the poor and defenceless
Many a Black man's conviction is senseless
They let the rich or white rapist get away
Because corrupt prosecutors are easy to sway
It's a win,win at the end of the day
You get your "nigger" in jail
And collect your fat pay!
Such attitudes pervade our system
Rape's embedded in the collective wisdom
Women are expendable rape victims
Jailing First Nations and Blacks is a dictum
Easy to prosecute without prediction
The press attacks them with their diction
Dichotomies of perpetrator and victim
Have prescribed identities:
It's called the justice system contradiction

You Shouldn’t Tell Monica Lewinsky She Was Raped BY TARA CULP-RESSLER POSTED ON MAY 6, 2014 AT 3:07 PM |

Like:
White male, aggression in gamer culture
Will rip kids innocence, away like a vulture
In gaming where raping is popular
Racism and sexism are really quite jocular

Of all the powerful Bill's we know
Bill Clinton didn't get the heave ho
The press paints white Bill as a hero
Lewinsky's job wasn't to give Bill a blow
But Cosby may go to jail or eat crow!
Can someone be raped and be none the wiser?
The act might have come as a surprise to her
If the perpetrator had all the power
Shame and denial could consume or devour

| Cosby's once stellar reputation has long been tarnished by his sexual exploits |
It's called the justice system contradiction
