The Town's A Little Girl by JigsawKillah(m): 4:45pm On Feb 27 |
The town's a little girl Rotten to her core Hawking her secrets To the public I see her, everyday Fiddling with the miscreants Rubbing the wrinkled noses Of sensible people in mud For what can they do? They stare, beaten By her sheer arrogance Pummeled to cowardice The stench of the rot Hits my nostrils Like a giant's fist I tumble in shock The town's a little girl Grown men lick their lips Whistling in endearing tunes And drum curses after use She stands confused, a tool The belt buckle came off Ushering in pleasure hmms Only to be beaten to move She stands in hell, unburned Begging to be saved But not her feet Which she planted on greed I see her at Five junction In underage hawkers Their wares on shaky heads But their arms are meant to beg I see her in the town hall Where experience teaches in vain And white hairs know not it In foolishness, she's ingrained The town's a little girl Who must be woken up Because her clock ticks And nature is punctual She must become a woman Her womb must be her saviour Motherhood her Holy Grail Her legs in one path; equity The town's a little girl And we must teach her To be one, and to fetch water For her growth © Jigs Lionheart 1 Like 1 Share |
