Theme: Rape

Two Fathers...., Fathers....?

One a French Diplomat
Other an Indian bureaucrat
Both well educated
Both in India located...
 
The *French one rapes his 3 year old
The Indian one rapes his 14 year old..
Both apparently ice cold
And in the pervert mould...
 
Both cases, the mothers have protested;
Never know, their efforts may be wasted.
In India, cases move at snail’s pace
And clout and contacts pave ways...
 
Often, the guilty go around totally nonchalant,
Using legal loopholes in a manner most blatant.
They manage to get bail
And avoid going to jail...
 
What about the afflicted child,
A victim of a father’s acts wild..?                                         
She will be permanently scarred
And men in her life will be barred...
 
Will she ever be able to trust any man,
When her father was as beastly as can?
She has been robbed of her childhood
By the very man who protect her should.
 
Can anything ever be more bestial,
Than a father committing acts cruel
On his trusting, innocent, young daughter?
Why can’t he be tried for child slaughter...?

 
Ps:
 
Rapes in India have become daily features,
As there’s no dearth of such beastly creatures...
