Statistics
1.3 women are raped every minute
78 each hour
1,872 each day
683,280 each year
so where do i fall under
am i not important
or am i just simply overlooked
you asked me to speak
but how can my voice be heard
when it echo's in the midst of women
and thumps the deef ears of men
i have come to understand that i am alone
reading these statistic waiting
hoping to be part of a statistic
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
