Lakesha was racially raped –

But not violated, the case file says

It was soon after she had ‘liked’ a Me too – hashtag

Now she’s just another tongue-tied walking dead black body

Minding her master’s business, she was at the time

Nevertheless – 

Lakesha;

a big black fly hovering on the periphery

Yes, they loved her so

to her face

Yet, behind her back…

They loathed her so

The perks of being on the margins

That’s the story of Lakesha.

the visibly invisible dark brown girl.

The unimportant inconvenience in their spaces.

Then one day they decided to rape her too…

But now they say it wasn’t rape…

Because she didn’t complain immediately after…

They say it is because Lakesha had washed off the semen

They looked for no evidence – no violence, they say

Yet, they know it is always subtle – this kind of rape –

It is always calculated – premeditated; predetermined outcomes.

It was not that type of intercourse

The type that leaves behind signs of penetration at the time of the violation!

The perpetrators well respected citizens of the western civilisation…

how dare Lakesha pulls that damned card again – typical!

They tatted and they eye balled

‘How inappropriate!’ their shocked fresh snow faces exclaim!

The End.
