Virgin Poem by Jack Lad

Virgin



An age long pride
the glory of women
the proof of trust
for a fiancee that her husband travel


a symbol of good single
a dignity of then life
your in our land
cannot be underestimated

a full matches case
is sent to the family
of virgined lady as AROKO
of meet her at home

though the pain is for the host
on the first day of meeting
but it is a bond of love
for the new couple

alas, the pride has gone
only a very few withold it
and the holders nowadays are
counted as uncivilized

civilization of 21st century
or call it new world revolution
or call it new age
or what is in vogue

if it means our culture is
barbaric then what is that
of new revolution
