W-Ode To 50 Wives Bred To Worship the Polygamous Prophet

Strophe

The polygamist had a big house                                        
Where he chose to warehouse hundreds of girls
And women including 29 stepmothers, his father’s spouses
56 of the girls were each other’s sisters.
And 24 were under the age of seventeen.           
Some of the young wives even assisted passions
The pedophile with his sexual assaults 
Telling the girls that if they refused to please his preen
In what he dubbed the “heavenly sessions”
They would be “rejected by God’s favorite cult.

Antistrophe

Wives were both the victims of his abuse
And the accomplices subjected to a cruel
World of worship and sexual abuse
And were so indoctrinated and used cool.
Who cruelly bred them for manipulation.
Calling himself the ‘humble servant’ of God
Asking the girls to please God to atone community’s sins
Oh, the wives of the notorious polygamist’s predation
Into the twisted world of subjugation fold
With which he surrounded himself amidst the teens.

Epode

Had a wisdom tooth for his sexual gratification
Raping the young girls in his big house to make housewives
The State of Texas has a big house for lamentation
Where he will spend the rest of his life’s cloves 
Well, he will have plenty of time to repent.
And think deeply on the meaning of life
Out of the 50 wives none of the parents got relief
Where are the parents of these young girls tormented?
Does that mean all were brainwashed for strife?
So scary that pedophilia can be masked as religious belief.

It is sad that this kind of thing is basically accepted in some religious beliefs, Dr Ram. It is lust of the flesh quite simple. Moses

a chilling thought, that these men are able to dupe a whole community. You are a very versatile writer, Dr. Ram. It is not without the provocation of thought that we read your work!

This is most likely based on a true character, Dr. Ram. I deplore this type of lifestyle and am blad he's in the Texas "big house" for the rest of his days. I pity the women who were subjected to such abuse. You have mastered the Ode form, Dr. Ram. I read up on it and found it too challenging, but you really succeeded! So much work went into this wwrie and you produced a masterpiece. Love, Carolyn

You really seem to be a master of form my friend. I'm not very good at it myself. This was excellent. I believe a poem should have a message and this has a good one. Loved it. God will get those who use Him to abuse His Children. Great stuff. God Bless, JB

A lot of work put into this one, Dr. RAm. Sure to do well in the contest.I am not sure if this is the same polygamist that I just heard a recording of on a radio talk show , but the man recorded had this sickening voice, claiming to be a "righteous prophet" telling all the women what to do for him. Gag me with a spoon. Poor misguided foolish people that followed him!

And I couldn't keep one. Maybe he can be someone's 'wife' in prison. Your poem is so well constructed.

This is a truly magnificent poem Dr.Ram! You pulled off the Ode rather easily!! It is truly a sad occurrence when things like in this poem happen. They should keep him locked up for the rest of his life! I really liked your write!!
