One Lucky Soul: Poème Tragique

Poème Tragique

Hated, ill-fated, x-rated 
Labels in society are integrated  

Two souls were isolated, segregated  
Mon n pop were kids when they mated 
Some months later she was impregnated

 He was miseducated, medicated, sedated  
She was young and manipulated when she deviated 
Penetrated and fornicated
All her short life humiliated, it never ameliorated 
Alienated, from the streets she graduated 
To hide the pain now she’s opiated,  unconsciously intoxicated   

When she met him she felt exhilarated 
Thought emancipated, all her life reevaluated  
Things between them accelerated, she stated  
Their inner demons congregated and amalgamated
 Unseparated, they were still kiddos, unilluminated

***

  But then things got heated
She felt cheated, defeated
Him, maltreated and mistreated

***

Then   one day baby was irritated and nauseated
 constipated not vaccinated
 dehydrated, behind the door gated  
Mom n pop wasted till ambulated  
And the poor baby’s life was checkmated  

Devastated and dissipated  
Would they now be liberated or annihilated?
