Acid In Your Face! Poem by Karl Stuart Kline

You were young and you had a future,
There's a happy life you had planned,
But now you've got gauze and sutures
Because some suitor felt unmanned

When you won't give up all you have,
Doing what he says is your duty,
Becoming his submissive slave.
So he destroys your youthful beauty

Using vitriol or acid,
A sick substitute for hormones,
He'll make you pay for what you did
By burning flesh and even bones.

An act typical of his kind,
That burns your face and leaves you blind.
