with their pens, men of Jury bear the fury

of hate delude of smile, I have decided

on argumentum ad miscerandium

will there be room for pity, am not even

upto 18years to be kept in the cell. but my

little hope to be taken to juvenile court

was crushed by my own uncle who presented

false birth certificate, my head spinned.

I tried to cry but cry is tired of me and there

are no longer tears in my eyes. doctor report

is presented showing envidence of forceful

penetration, the Jezebel herself testified

against me, “he has been raping me ever

since my dad took him in, he will threaten

me that he will kill me if I reveal it to anyone,

I was scared, I came to his room to tell

him about the pregnancy test result.

and he

with so many lies, I couldn’t take it anymore

myself without a lawyer to defend me.

the road, days turns into Months I don’t

even know when the year ended cause time

is of no importance to me “happy new year,
