A Gang Rape on Academic Honesty

In Lolita Novel,

A character recollects his

Father’s mischief with the opposite sex

He had light heartedly taken

Advantage of her on one rainy day

And forgotten it by the time

The weather cleared

I quote from memory these lines.

There,

There could have been a

Mutual consent,

To seek reciprocal gratification

And enjoy a momentary bliss

By travelling on an unexplored territory

Resulting in bliss and harmony to both.

Here, when you people were hurt

On that summer day,

You had nobody to complain to,

Nobody to consult.

Even the best friend kept

A healthy distance,

And didn’t come to your rescue

To listen to your emotive feelings

That was a kind of rape

A gang rape on academic honesty

Virtue and integrity.

The victims cannot and

Should not forget

To unmask those faces

At an opportune time.

That day will come.
