La Belle et la Bête
Poor,
yet stunningly pure.
Sold by her father to a beast,
a daughter not worth more than jewels,
Beautiful hearts have no means against riches.
Forced to procreate,
and suppressed from the outside world.
Look in and see a loving mother,
a bit deeper and a young girl suffers.
Gala upon gala,
Bastard come, bastard go.
The beauty is all worn up,
and they found her throat slit
on shards of a broken teacup.

Complete but concise.
Girl / woman as a thing to be sold into marriage.
Once she has finished her job of giving birth, she has no worth...unfortunately this is probably still happening in some parts of the world.
You have given voice to the voiceless.

Thank you. :)
Such things are still going on and it's horrible. If only a poem could help. welp.

Reality so harsh and ugly, yet you found a way to tell the story beautifully!
