CHILD MARRIAGE

Little feet tender and coy
                     The streams mirror her luminescent joy
                     Golden locks cascading down her arms
                          White dahlias cupped in her palms 
               She roams endlessly the mountain of rocks
                      Frolicking about in her bright frocks 
                       

                             She stands clad in a white veil 
                                 Her tears a muffled wail
                         White ribbons harass her wrists
                   Church bells resonate through the trysts
                     White visatrias' frangrance wisp away
             As sweet as her innocence is stripped astray
                      

                     Pray tell, the wretched life of a dame
                             We preach in God's name
