Daddy's Pearl

Hang the rapists!

She was born into her daddy's arm,
Giving birth to her, died her mom!
He looked at her,
He never wanted her harmed..
The first time she called him "daddy",
Her eyes sparkled.
He swore to protect her.
She grew up faster than he thought..
It got him startled,
He was not prepared.
She started going out.
Those times he fought
With himself,to prove him wrong.
He wanted her to be safe,
Safe from human race,
As he knew there were people,
People whose minds which were so feeble.

One day she came back home,
All broken,all torn..
He was proved right,
She was raped that night.
He swore to protect her with his life,
Still he couldn't,She was so fragile!
His little girl,Daddy's only pearl,
Pale as she could be.
He couldn't bear the sight,
He hugged her so tight.
Would the society accept her?
Would her own family accept her?
His mind were filled with thoughts.
But all he knew was that,
This girl,Was his baby,He was her daddy,
She was his pearl,
Valuable,as she was his daughter,
Vulnerable, as she was born a 'girl'!

Author's Note

Today's society! -.- The rapist's should have their d*cks cut off!
I wrote this poem 'cuz of a recent incident near my place!

"Her autopsy report stated that she was severely beaten after rape and her intestines were pulled out using a sharp-edged weapon. There were at least 30 injuries found on her body."

Powerful and honest words. I have three daughters and I do understand this poem. A scary world, we live in. I taught my daughters how to survive. I still worry daily. Your story in this poem need to be read by more people. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

A couple of points:

• Avoid twisting the sentence to rhyme, as in "Giving birth to her, died her mom!" Readers find it a turn-off.

• Pay careful attention to prosody, it's a good part of what makes poetry poetic. The words, as Shakespeare said, should flow trippingly from the tongue.

And finally, for me, at least, the message seems to be: "Don't let your girls have control of their life, or bad things will happen." My view is to teach your children, male and female, to handle what life tosses at them—good and bad. Anyone who tried that with one of my kids would find themselves reaching for the nasty end of a buzz saw.
