Crime...

I would have wanted to live,

Not the horrors that you had to give,

But the healthy and happy life which I could live.

I would have wanted to read,

Not the news of your deed,

But the fairy tales, girls my age need.

I would have wanted to laugh,

Not the sad smile to show me tough,

But the genuine carefree gut-busting laugh.

I would have wanted to play,

Not the dirty games that came my way,

But hide n seek or police n thief, if I may.

I would have wanted to dream,

Not the nightmares that make my mother scream,

But the happy ones that children daydream.

I would have wanted to grow up too,

Not to be a woman that you gawk, eat and chew,

But to be someone your kids could look up to.

I would have wanted to even make love,

Not the lust that you have in your mind above,

But the magical and pure form of love.

I would have wanted to breed,

Not to give you another victim for your greed,

But to nurture humanity's seed amid your weed
