The Double V and F
She cried and told
Everyone who cared to
Listen that she was too
Young to be betrothed
Nobody cared to listen
She wanted to go
to school but her parents
would hear none of it
the plan was to marry her
off to a rich suitor and it worked
she was only two years
over ten when she was
married off without her
consent to an old money bag
old enough to be her father
she took in and when
the time for delivery came
it was a real battle cos
she was too young and
her body not matured
to bear the pressure
That was the
beginning of her nightmare
The child didn't survive
The ordeal and she was
left with vesicovaginal
Fistula, she can't hold it
and let go anywhere
And anytime
The moneybag left her
To her woes to face
The world alone with
No source of livelihood
Friends and family left her
as she oozes unbearable Stench
Now at two score and five
She has lived thirty-three
Years of her life in misery
She would be operated for the
Nineteenth time today
And she cares less if she comes
Out alive or not as there
is nothing to live for
she recounts the past
years of her life
and wished she was
never born!

A very sad story.
Excellent freestyle.

Yeah... Thank you very much
Most welcome
Great poem Rose
Thank you very much
This is magnificent, Rose.
You've formatted it in such a way as to look like a fairly conventional poem, but then eschewed all form and told a heartbreaking story in the most stark and uncompromising manner possible.
Your characterisation of the 'villain' simply as "The moneybag" is a masterstroke.
Again...MAGNIFICENT!!

Thank you very much J.... It's a pleasure to have you stop by...
Great
Thanks a million...
First and foremost: Hello my friend,
A very passionate but we'll written presentation( Rose), a free style, that is ever so real, in some third world countries.Loved the read and hope all is well......Jim
OMG!!!.... I'm so so happy to have you here...
A country like mine... Where things like this are rampant....Your words means much to me
A heartwrenching piece. The details...so true for many, and you brought it all to life.
Words which make the heart ache, and you pieced together wonderfully.
Thank you very much.... It's a story of a woman I met few days ago.... I was heart broken and wish I could do a lot of things for her to make her forget all she has been through....Thanks for stopping by
Hey ROSE!!... this is such a great write about young gils being sold off and etc....... But......I feel foolish..... because I can't figure out what VFF is exactly!?.......I know it's not good...... but I've never heard of it........ pardon my ignorance....... otherwise...... amazingly 'powerful girlfriend!!........ALL STARS........ LOVE and ROCKETS!!........T xo. ?☀✴✳
Vesico-Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is a serious disability experienced by women.....It is a hole that develops between the vagina and the bladder, resulting in uncontrollable leaking of urine through the vagina. Common cause includes, obstructed labour, early marriage, forceful entry of the vagina (paedophile)....Women with such disability are confined and can't live a normal life because of the stench of urine that they emit....Some spend 10-20 years in the hospital... Met with nine of them few days ago...They've gone through surgeries several times, some 5, 11,6 etc....sometimes the doctor just stitch the vagina up and the woman lives a sexless life (can you imagine?) ..... It was a heartwrenching experience one of them was only 4 years!.... Sorry for the long lecture???....I'm glad you stopped by... HIGH FIVE!!!..... ?
Hi Rose, so heartbreaking to read ## great write
Thanks so much Leah....It's real....It's hurting to see women suffer this much.... Thanks for stopping by
My Dear Sweet Rose,
Her New Double V and F
Angels now come to her side
They've heard the tears that she has cried
They have come to let her know this day
That God wants her on Earth to stay
For He's seen her double V and F
And felt her pain, know's she's bereft
He has assigned new meanings these letters now
And is sending them to her endow
The first is your Veracity, he knows you are so true
The second one is Virtue, the strong point that is you
The third is that youHu keep your Faith, for He sends you all His love
The last is for His Firmament, where you'll live with Him above
Love you,
Daddio xxx
Oh Daddio!!.... Your words brought tears to my eyes.... They are very encouraging and uplifting...I'd show her this... I'm sure it would make her feel better.....Thank you very much
Love you
My Dear Sweet Rose,
It is so warming to my heart, that you will be able to actually show this to the person in your poem. At the time I wrote it, I wasn't sure if it was biographical or fiction. I am elated that this will possibly give her some solace.
Love you too,
Daddio xxx
Intrestingly driffrent.....all good...thx...Rose
Thank you very much Lorris
Jet me first say that I do NOT cry easy!! But this piece has done it! I love when a piece can tell a story calmly in a manner that I don't even realize it is poetry! I think I was able to relate to this to an extent because although my grandmother was not 12 when she married, the man was twice her age and she wanted her parents happy that she would marry a man that had money and land. Although not a painful as this piece, I always wondered how she felt about it.
But anyways, again beautiful piece. And by piece, I mean a masterpiece!
Awww!!...So sorry I made you cry...It must have been bad for your grandmum...It's sad to be married off for any reason other than love...and worst is if it's against the person's wish...It's like a life sentence in an awful prison...I'm glad you stopped by Brittney...
Thanks for your beautiful words...I'm inspired
No problem! Thank you for sharing!
<3
Hi Jessica..It's been a while...Just noticed you've posted the part 13 and 14 of the story...would read it up...It's good to have you back and the story too
Yes! It's been awhile! Been really busy with college work! But I'm going to focus to finish my book! I hope you enjoy reading chapter 13 and 14!! It's nice to be back!! X
I`m so proud of you my darling with this piece that my heart is just bursting!! You have written a beautiful, very clever and very well thought out piece here, about such a terrible truth.
That some societies in this day and age could actually think this abominable behaviour is normal is just mind boggling to me and it`s absolutely heartbreaking to know that it is really happening too. People that do that are like Cherie says, they are `paedophiles` and they should be in prison for life. I`m simply staggered that parents could allow that to happen to their children.
Well done my darling for bringing this to our attention and if you get the chance, please give my love to the lady in question and please tell her that she is in my prayers and that I am so sorry that she has been so terribly badly treated in that way.
God bless my little Rosebud
I love you deeply my darling
Mummy xx
I'm filled with joy that I've made my Mum proud!!....It's poverty that usually make parents allow these kind of things...They need the money the "paedophile" would give and they give their consent daring the consequences...
Thank you very much Mum....would definately give your love to her...Thanks so much for praying for her...It's all she needs at the moment
God bless you too Mum
I love you deeply...Your little Rosebud
Hi Sweet Rose Where do I start this is so painful to read
to think at that age children are being robbed of their childhood
and then to face the rest of their lives in pain and discomfort
through a man I would also class as a peodophile,
I do understand the poverty but man oh man the thought
of these poor children suffering so much, blows my mind
I hope this lady finds some sort of pain relief please tell
her she is in my thoughts and I hope and pray for her to
feel better
Thank you Rose for this much needed awareness poem
you wrote this perfectly from your ever caring compassionate heart
Lots of love Debs
It's indeed mind blowing...It's sad to see what people go through just because they are poor ...God help us!...Thanks for your ever encouraging words Debs...It's always a pleasure to have you stop by...Lots of love
I truly hope these ways are a thing of the past for no young girl should ever have her future decided for her....it was if her parents sentenced her for a life worse than death. Wow Rose, I also hope this is pure created imagination because it is very well done but horrifically sad. My applause....Peace.
Her kind of life is worse than death and thus she wished she was never born...I wish it's just my imagination...But it's true...It's someone I actually met and talked with...I'm humbled to have you stop by my page...Thank you very much
This is a very sad person
Well told - a tragedy
a critical write.
Thank you Rose for you
write with a heavy heart.
God's light upon you.
Love from Jai:)?
Thanks a million Jai...I'm glad you stopped by
