Little Girls Won’t Tell
Little Girls Won’t Tell
Nobody listened
Child molested once again.
Nobody listened,
Not even a friend.
The father whispers, ” little girls won’t tell,
Bruising happened
Because you fell.
That’s what you tell mama, do you hear? ”
She answered, ” Yes papa, ”
Cowering in fear.
The teacher looks, she doesn’t see.
Papa is Pastor,
Preaching Calvary.
Child matures into womanhood.
Drugs and liquor
Make her feel good.
Life wasted because of papa’s sin.
Little sister is maturing,
Soon will be ten.
Big sister makes a solemn vow
She’ll save her
And she knows how
A knife pierces his evil heart
Little sister safe
This world he’ll depart
Papa’s eyes follow as she leaves his bed
Moving swiftly back into the night
As he slowly drowns in liquid red.

Your poem, Ruby, strongly expresses a harsh reality of what so many little girls suffer from. Well done.
Welcome to TCE. It is good to have you here with us. I look forward to your flash fiction stories.
Thank you Phyllis. I love this site. I am honored to write here.
This is tragically sad, Ruby, but powerful and beautifully written. Well done. Good to have you here.
Hello John, I wrote this after reading a news article about a minister who sexually abused his daughter. It is tragic. Thank you for reading and leaving a complimentary comment and invitation to write on this site.
Ruby,
A topic certainly needed to be brought to the forefront, and you did such a wonderful job. Thank you for your creativity,with a strong stand.
Hello William, nice to meet you. Thank you for your remark about my creativity and a strong stand. I am happy to share with others.
Hey Ruby, welcome. This is a powerful and poignant work that is representative of an evil truth that so taints our days. I’ll never understand how anyone could hurt a child let alone sexually abuse. Well told and penned with stark and frightening imagery of a reality that is so often unrecognized until it is too late. Great work and hope you enjoy the site.
Hello Tony, nice to meet you. Thank you for reading and responding with an encouraging comment. I know I will enjoy writing on this site.
Welcome to the site Ruby. Your work always leaves a message and this piece is no exception. I hear you loud and clear. I’ve lived through abuse, thankfully not sexual in nature. However my poor sisters did. He paid by death in the end. I and others celebrated upon hearing of that Demons demise. All rapists in my opinion should be castrated, tarred and featherd before going to prison for life without parole or condemned to death.
