the sting of 20 pesos

THE STING OF 20 PESOS

sometime,a bitter lullaby
were heard by many
another disgusting sad song
sang by the tender ladies

too young to save their virginity
or simply to have a choice
for a beautifully woven destiny

there are/were men who paid
to touch the private parts
of their delicate bodies
for twenty pesos

to buy a sachet of shampoo,
a piece of bread...
their daily needs

why?
because...

their mothers were busy drinking...
their fathers were busy gambling...

Them little ladies
when in the future
will reach their full fruition

will yell and scream for all to hear
their terrible depression
with wasted pearls fall from ungrateful eyes

and there will be insufficient vision
within their marrow
that keeps this horror from taking over

forever...
They will never be a woman
as a whole.
