Daniel Bosch is the father of a student at Occidental College — and such, he's keenly aware of the rape crisis the campus has endured in the last year. Students and activists alike have decry a series of sexual assaults committed by students, and an administrative reaction that seems more interested in hushing up the problem than bringing perps to justice.

Bosch is also a writer (his work has appeared in The New Republic, Poetry, and the Daily Beast. So how better to channel his outrage than into poetry?

He originally submitted this poem in response to the L.A. Times op-ed page's unusual call for poems. They passed. Their loss.

After the jump, the poem in its entirety:
