A romantic land
Once upon a time in a romantic land,
a land where girls are women at preteen
a land where laws are always made by man
and conservative law is religiously mean.
Into a stony stubbled field of wheat
terrified stumbling's of torn white feet
upon hard brown earth and flinty stone
by the law taken, woman makes low moan.
Illicit lover like she, fearfull and soon
will dance to the self same dreadful tune
will dance till drenched, quite red in the face,
will dance till breathless, gone all trace.
Farmers, fathers, priests of that land,
hefting in sun browned callused hand
woman and lover make low moans,
soon to be silence by thrown stones.

This reminded me of the Scarlet Letter and the story of the adulteress in the bible. "Ye who is free of sin cast the first stone."
thanks for the visit Ahavati.
this one was set off coz a sixteen year-old mother of two was stoned to death in a Muslim country for adultery.
Her ' illicit lover ' a German diplomat managed to escape back to Germany.
Fundamentalists crawl all over this planet sniffing out women & girls to kill.
Adultery aside one wouldn't think that not wearing a head covering could get a girl dead.
I left a bit out, speaker Johnson is a fundamentalist and says and thinks that he lives and everyone else should live in a biblical republic. Boebert and Taylor-Green concur.
Johnson is going to be Goebbels without the the histrionics.
The free west cannot afford these people to have more power.

I agree, and that's exactly what I am trying to fight for in the speakeasy. Or at least enlighten others of the importance of paying attention and becoming involved.
