A poem about a wayward girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You traversed ancient paths,
paths marked with chastity.

You got seduced, blinded
with wealths hawked about
by senile men.

They deflowered
your cherished virginity
in the morning of your puberty.

You threw away wise counsel,
and abandoned your future,
you renounced your meal ticket
for a morsel of wheat.

I weep for you, sister,
I lament for you, my sister,
I cry for the hope
rubbished over tiny desires...

Desires that trapped
your better tomorrow.
