Errant Subsidiaries 

never measuring up to authoritative ideals 
nor to an absent father 
outside of the beatings 
rape only for sissie 
couldn't protect her 
until it was too late 
beauty knows the pain of jealosy and hate 
then I'll never measure up 
for I swear against these misdeeds 
I vow to never shame 
the comfort of my own seed
