Every Six Minutes
Nobody believes a word she says, drowning in her shame,
Robbed of her dignity by that man, yet she’s the one they blame.
Beaten to a pulp and knocked to the ground.
He told her nobody would believe her and not to make a sound.
She kicked and she cried
She said ‘no’, but he never complied.
He told her she was a tramp, a vixen, and all the other labels,
They cheered while one was gang raped on a pool table.
One in ten times they cry do they ever report,
One in a hundred ever set face in court.
Every six minutes a woman’s shamed by a thug,
The only violent crime that you serve less than dealing drugs,
Every six minutes a woman’s in pain,
It haunts her whether asleep or awake and drives her insane.
Every six minutes, one woman’s dignity is lost,
Every six minutes, that woman gets her own cross.
