Premium Member Regret

Born out of wedlock
she gave up her baby girl
for quick adoption.

Twice married since, old and frail,
she laments her childless life.

And Have a Nice Day

Humanity has banned swearing
i don't know what the coitus to do
Stubbed my toe
Blancmange does not seem to do the trick
The mammary gland in my work
such a coituser too
This plaster born out of wedlock
Doesn't give a phytoplanton
Manures hit the fan
Cannot understand
Nobody tries
Even beneath the gentleness of words
the truth sometimes lies

Blame

Whom one to blame?
Is it our upbringing?
Or society setting?	
Who to blame?

Immorality is relative,
Our daughters are dumb,
They deviate from teachings.
Who to blame?

They conceive accidentally,
Sadly out of wedlock,
Wonderful in a small age.
Who to blame?

Abortion is relative,
Infants are thrown to the wells,
Indeed they curse our societies.
Who to blame?

A Wish

A Wish

For children sired from out of wedlock
Roaming the streets, begging for alms
With weary eyes from a day’s plight
To get their crumbs  and spare  the night

For girls robbed and sanctity trampled
Buried in rut,  and scared to move
Spurned and cast away from home
With queuing lads to buy her form

For souls scorned and gloomed
Who live a  life of doom and misfortunes 
May find their life at the end of the fork
Espousing all strength, and daring to move.

A Long Time Ago

A long time ago,
When innocence was part of life;
Where love resided in many hearts,
And happiness was rife.

A long time ago,
When sixteen he was and slim,
Handsome and polite,
The virgin girl cried for him.

A long time ago
When lovemaking was in circumstance,
Babies born out of wedlock were few
And kissing was the main part of romance.

A long time ago,
That was many many years ago,
Life was simple and sacred,
And many hearts love did bestow.

Side-By-Side

Shagged in the back of a shotgun shack at night by moonlight peeping past curtains of burlap sack such a sore sight surrounded by fields of green willing as she'd been tho' torn she surely wasn't about to be seen with a child out of wedlock born so with a bun in the oven she had her Dad invite he who did the dirty deed and plant the seed the Father-to-be down south way out on the steading to shape up show up and in the end attend a shotgun wedding
