Hobbesian Girl Poem by John F. McCullagh

Hobbesian Girl



Some think it cute when young girls twerk,
Or use cosmetics like Tammy Faye.
Isn't it cute to hear them curse?
Childhood? - Oh, that's so passé.
Dress them like their older sisters;
in clothing barely more than slips.
Put hooker heels upon their feet
to roll those prepubescent hips.
I pity those who think this progress.
I put the ball back in their court.
The taking of innocence, I find appalling.
It makes childhood nasty brutish and short.
