Marked

Her back was marked 
She was stamped 
"Sold", it read 
To some unknown hand 

That day,she was 
Dressed in red 
Bedecked in gold chains 
Like a halter around her neck. 

She tied her knots,as a girl 
To a man twice her age 
She became his property,that very day 
Her life,completely changed 

She lived to pleasure,the man she knew 
And the animal,she did not 
The days were short 
The nights drew long 
Her body collapsed 
She was tired 

Bruised,burnt,stripped,lashed 
She had nothing else to do 
But shut her lips and move her hips 
Quietly, she did what she had to do 

Her back was marked 
She was stamped 
Sold, to an Unknown Man 
After marriage,it is not rape 
If the man makes love to his woman!
