The holiness of purity at war

Chastity in its essence walks the path of the living dead,

The mirth of innocence ends its existence before succumbing on its deathbed

‘Atrocious smears lasp in the kindle of glee,

Lustful eyes render the innocence that she could be

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Childhood in its brimming charm gallops in gallant strides,

Alas his odious intentions, render her simplicity for his insatiable hunger to ride

The world mourns in the beckoning of the grief that roars,

Dwelling into the looms of animosity, the soul sheds its very core

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We reside in a land where the girl in her adolescence is worshipped as divine before the very eyes,

And we live in a land where the impeccability of a child is murdered at the hands of sin that belies

The generosity of spirit shatters with every tale as it unravels the true,

And questions the society

Is this what the preached values of righteousness hid under its sinew?
