I've got a ph.d in the politics of incest
A degree I can only use for reason of avoidance
The first christian woman I knew
Labored in care of a pedophile
A crude wench he picked up on daddy's property
The sharecropper's daughter
Fifteen years old seems a bit young
For eternal damnation
(The child died from his broken lamp)
I've been a pawn in a complex arrangment
Of events
Connecting the dots of memory
I am enraged
The counselors tell me I must suffer
For the anger
As though I'm some third world hag
Attributed to animalistic pursuances
I'll walk into your churches
And yell Rot In Hell
Maggots
