Stained Virgin

STAINED VIRGIN
They say a virgin is an undefiled maiden 
An immaculate vestal
How else could she be,now stained ?
unchaste and smutty
tarnished and blemished
that's humanity !!!
STAINED is our religion
its no longer a personal race
but a raceway of competition
sanctuary has become an institution
for jeopardy to our disgrace
STAINED is our so called just government
Blood of humans lies in their hands
which has landed us in disfigurement
cause of selfish pleasure
blood shed all over homelands
yet no justice to measure 
STAINED are our relationships 
we prefer gain to true love
trust has turned into a treasure so hard to find
loyalty has turned to hard to equip
yet everyone wants to feel loved
when we're all disinclined
STAINED are our lives 
everyone is in a rush to make it
never minding the consequences
we're ready to receive never willing to give
steady to commit,never set to admit 
that's why we make accomplices  
 life is light  
but what we see through it,is blood
brutal,reprobate,corrupt 
has become the blight
profane and soiled has been the flood
she's too stained to be pure again
