Revenge for justice



 



The morning sky had been a beautiful shade of blue



giving no inkling that the evening would be so dreadful



And grey



Her shoes slipping along the sidewalk



Her clothes slopping wet



The wind



And rain plastering her long weave



Around her face



Her usually brisk walk home was today hardened and slow



Round the last corner she went



And a few metres away her house she saw



She yearned the warm feel of her bed



For a hot cup of tea



A steaming mug of coffee



But her journey was cut short



Her walk home interrupted



As a hand shoved her into a thicket on her left



And she landed on the cold wet and muddy ground



Pinned then trapped



She tried'ah break free but her captor was too strong



She tried'ah scream but her voice was gone



Tears streamed from her eyes



A cold shiver down her spine



Not due to the cold rather out of fear



Her clothes were ripped off her



And she tried to fight him off



her struggles being futile



In that cold night, her innocence was taken



Her well preserved purity tarnished



And just as he came he left



Left her in the dark, under the rain



All alone with her pain and cries



She gathered strength and made the last steps home



Outside her door her mother waited



A frown evident in her face



And when she saw her daughter's torn clothes



Her daughter's pained look



And the blood trickling down her daughter's legs



A loud shriek left her mouth



So loud that people gathered



And when some saw the poor girl,



They sympathised with her



Others sneered and jeered



Whispering all kinds of not so kind words



As if she had a doing with her saddening fate



Pain is all she felt



Hurt vulnerable



Worthless and dirty



Her sleep that night being a host for nightmares



And tears



But when morning came she made a decision



And on this day she plot her revenge for justice
