What a Lecher Does

She was twenty-two-years old
childlike, but not childish
her mind was not as deep thinking as many
but she was empathetic and kind
goodness oozed out of her
she was the victim of a lecherous relative
he knew she was going to expose him
he talked her mother into giving her a lobotomy
she was institutionalized the rest of her life
barely able to speak or move
her father safely moved on to other young victims

Oh my goodness. The thought of this made me cringe. Men who do this sort of thing ought to have their manhood removed! Just sayin'.
