Tiny Crowns

Tiny crowns, frilly dresses

What’s the source of your obsession?

You say isn’t she cute?

What does that really mean to you?

Tempted by unripe fruit

A taste for innocence

Even from your youth

You’re a natural disaster

You don’t get happy ever after

You like to destroy and you like to corrupt

then blame it on a toddler sister

saying she “sleeps like a slut”

Well, little princess quiet

Can no longer keep her mouth shut

When the tiny victims

On the television screen

Don’t see what kind

Of under-blanket monster you feed

“Is it wrong even if I don’t act?”

You ask for my reply

What do you call that?

Don’t fool yourself with those lies

Innocence has now become

Your most solemn enemy

You couldn’t find it in you

So, you took it from me?
