Napowrimo Day 7 April 7 (A Poem based on a news item) Wo/e/men (can) Rape Too

This is a boring prompt, for me, so I am gonna write rubbish that will shock and thrill all of you :D I've no inspiration and I am bored as hell. Planets raining iron, pink moons,  and new moons in Kentucky, and corona tragedies just don't cut it for me!

Khalil was a waiter, and we could not wait to err

We went to get a platter

From his pretty eater-

y. He came. We kid-napped the caterer

Khalil, the sexy waiter

Who said women can't

We can and we will

Took him to our house

Gave him drugged milk to drink

Then we made him shrink

Three of us, we raped him

Daily, for four days' sin

Then we threw him near the river

In Qayyumabad

We are rich, from Clifton

The men we taught a lesson

Women can also rape

The Rap we now await

From the cops of this town

Rape is always wrong

Continuing to Bosch it up :) - 2


Yes, why am I a dice?
They also say it as die
These humans
And why a five, four, two
hanging on a pitchfork
or in mid-air
and over a naked woman's head -
(to show it all is to be is diceworthy?
a woman is just an object to be gambled, a gamble?) -
bigger than my mates
on a table, three
far away from me
Why not one and three
or a six of me
me thus shown to advantage to all?
And why am I alone, denied
to rub with Lady Dice
on that brown surface
when all around me
men
and women copulate
men with women or mice
men with men
and women with women
and even men with beasts
and half-human, half machines
and birds and bees and flowers
fruits and leaves and towers
Why am I alone
left to hang here
for nothing
I can make out still,
only being a Thing?
Does not a Thing have feelings?
If you roll us don't we come to a stop?
And at the roll of a dice
are not kingdoms won and lost?
Women bartered and sold
their dresses removed and wars fought?
A dice is no mean thing
We decide destinies
At a twist of a wrist and a tumble
Give me my wish, someone
and paint over this thing
this damn painting
and put me on that table
with my six as the fable
so I can rub against
yon Lady Dice and Die.
