the child bride 3


An 11 years old child bride
She got married under false pretenses
When lust was satisfied she was dumped aside
Crying alone in a world of unknowns

Alone and confused in the city
Far away from her village
The 'husband' never takes responsibility
Leaving her fighting off her fear

Good samaritans came to rescue
The authority swings into action
The mother came spoken of black magic
We never know the truth can we?

It's better we changed the rules
All girls are allowed to get married above 18 years
By now they have decent education
They will not face hardships when they are dumped

The lives of these child brides
The scars lining shadows in their lives
They will live though with nightmares
Of men bullying them to submissions
