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
