The Rape of Lucrece by William Shakespeare

Poetry is a deep lake with a strong current, or at least, it can be. Why one set of words can move us so much is a mystery, or it is an art. There are so many wonderful poets who have achieved this divine feat and I have only savoured but a few. I aim to slowly but surely address this oversight.I have chosen this poem because the subject matter is clearly relevant to the hateful side of our contemporary world. Despite the troubles forced upon us by the pandemic, women in particular have been made to suffer through an increase in domestic abuse, abuse at work, at university, out and about, anywhere and everywhere.This phenomenon has to stop! Sexual abuse has to stop! We need to come together and stop it!I welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at:Instagram: TwoandaMicTwitter: TwoandaMic1Should I really have to ask? 😉 If you like the developing story of this social journey unfurling in my series of podcasts, feel more than free, feel partially responsible for spreading the word by subscribing and sharing and where possible, liking.
