Child Abuse
Child Abuse
The early days of my adolescence short lived
A unwanted guest at the door arrived
Before the budding carried out, exhorted a gratis swan dive
Unfortunate was the day, they found my concealed hive.
Forced to swiftly ripen was my arranged prize
The derisory nuptial offerings of garments awfully oversized
nervous to declare Refusal, I was given the conclusion to chastise
It is the noble passageway, so I was told by the very wise.
I took with me only a beloved doll to my new abode
Presented in my small hands a new protocol manual encode
Whilst my address was permanently changed to a secret code
Oblivious with a naïve head, I was showered with a mules load.
My doll was removed from my bed the very first night
I was informed to play the pastime game of a new bride
The old man reeking of opium broke open my purity’s rite
I screamed and roared as they robbed my every indispensable human right.
Soon I was replaced as a unit of the household
As things are procured in the bazaar, purchased and sold
When new things come in the market, it is customary to replace the old
Unassumingly accepting my ill faith as the village elders’ saga foretold.
