He took my cherry at a young age;
Became my lover, friend, husband,
And the father of my children.
I was blindly happy, until
He was called away to prison,*
And I wondered at the cruelty of life.
I may be wisely miserable today,
I’m not too sure anymore…
Yet I wonder if our Creator
Is as blindly happy as I once was,
Or, if He is also wisely miserable;
And I ask myself if this is all there is.
Life in the world as we know it,
Can be like a bowl of blind cherries.
Author notes
* He went to prison for (consensual) sex with a minor (not me - it was another girl).

Sex! now you have opened Pandoras Box ,a view taken from an interesting angle. We are so busy beating up the adult that the feelings of the child can be forgotten. There is so much angst tied up with this subject, even those who are making judgments have their hang ups to deal with, how often does that get in the way of justice,(what ever that is). God, or as I would prefer to call it, -Great Nature, makes the body willing before the mind is ready(in most cases). I don't think Nature really cares about moral standpoints, just about the continuation of the species

Sadly there is much paranoia on these areas but we must protect our young ..love makes you vunerable and when you are inexperienced and young you may make descisions that will be regretted later..being young is about having fun and not getting tied down with loads of children ..we need our childhood and youth as a release for the mundanety of later life when memories become more important...a beautiful plea just the same poet...sometimes justice is blind...
