Genital Mutilation

They made death a saint
With their sword and powder
As they butchered her silly; 
Her sweet bean was their bile.

Rudely they moved their razor
To the natural point she ever prided
And slashed it like carrot
Her cone they laid on another tatters;
Massaging their pride with her sinless blood.

Then they brought out their ageless gourd
And poured out their satanic powder
Upon her bleeding scar -
Like spice on their  bar-be-cue.

Though loudly she cried,
The mean were not samarithan.

Very powerfully expressed, Kayod5! This is another type of horrible abuse that depraves females of real love. Performed under the guise of customs or religion, it is degrading and leaves everlasting effects. #7 // paul
