Purple Bows

Silly, funny, little girl
in a funny little world.
Purple bows and leather shoes
make memories cut dangerously loose.
Bruises hid by satin,
scrapes hid by lace.
No one looks past
her blond-haired, blue-eyed face.
Her name is Lucy,
but she's called "It."
A decent little child,
punished by whips.
Her lips don't know how to speak,
he eyes only blink.
Daddy's hand will surely seek
out a little punch,
out a little plunder.
Little girls belong in heaven,
not in hell down under.
