A Nursery Rhyme of An Ugly Kind

Poor little girl named, No..I won't say who, did not know what to do. She has a great burden that she must carry given to her by a trusted man, who was close and married He told her not to say how he stopped her at play to teach her his many lewd and ugly carnal games. So in fear she would be to blame and in fear of her love ones hurting that poor little girl promised never to say and now must carry that enormous burden. Written by me in the eighties for a child abuse campaign. Revised 2013

It is amazing that so much good can come from such evil. Your poem stands in evidence that good will, in time, overcome evil..... Bless you.... Jake
