PRICE OF VIRGINTY

Submitted by lovedly on Sun, 2022-07-31 15:40

A poem for a Virgin
who was always afraid
of a man
was married
taken away
to a far off land

she had none
of her trusted ones at hand
thus I calmly spoke

Lead kindly into the night
with hubby aright
be faithful all night
and life
be a good wife

nothing and no one
but your husband is right

he will take care of you
only if you always lead him

lead kindly
into the night
till twilight
all your life
you'll remember
I was right

help him too be
polite

which is pretty much an alien concept here in my country.

Great poem form and intent. Lovely!

one day the mgs
will be
institutions maybe
like clubs
Just wait along the mass
human waves at sea
how in another 20 years
what if at all a mg
how will it be
like multi rays
