A Hen To Men

A hen to men

Mama's driving along to Seattle looking for her
runaway daughter, when out of the blue she
hears the radio host reading a poem written
by PP that's fast becoming a hit on social media
... life's delves not twelve ...for stave her grave. Please
Paris hear me, mamas on her way. 
Mama  then stares off to the other side of midnight, 
praying that dawn is much better. 


She runs
From guns

and men's
playpens

their lies
and highs

their slugs
and drugs

resist
their twist

she lives
survives

hell bells
bad spells

awaken
forsaken

she stands
her land

of worth
on earth

a hen
to men

she squawks
the walk

she's tall
to fall

life's delves
not twelve

so young
and sprung

feathers
weathered

for stave
her grave
