So Long
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [So Long]
Come dear girl, you’re very pretty
He showered her with words, so witty
In her innocence she answered
With due diligence, she surrendered

Old fool! What demon
Possessed you? You did moan
In delight as you tore her apart
With withered, unworthy ‘bat’!
….
People of all races and places
We must strive to remove these faces
Polluting, endangering our younger species
Plowing ’em like addictive delicacies!

It’s not just about telling the stories
But about unraveling their follies
And bringing them to justice
Thought through appropriate forces
…
It’s time to put his like behind bars
For no other place to they belong
Only then would they would cease to scar
Our little ones, dear beloved

Let’s use all in our wherewithal
Man, woman, young old, come one, come all
Come answer this noblest of all calls
Lest morality’s shaky wall completely falls
