In the form of news i heard and read but did not realise. But after reading this i feel how much horrible is this act. My poem MY DAUGHTER is just opposite to your write.

OMG.... so sad yet so beautiful. thx for bringing this to everyones attention, people should write about this stuff more often as its never going to help when we keep it locked away, hate, darkness, fear and dread will build up unless we bring it out in the open and deal wif it

Read this while listening to Ozzy Osbourne's Sleep my li'l Child... And my cousin just flashed through my mind... She'd undergone this... But it was brutal she couldn make it thru... Your poem bleeds it out... truly amazing...

Well wrote, hits hard on the emotion buttons I can imagine some people wont be able to handle reading this kind of work but I think it is important it's produced. It pulls hard on the heart strings like all great tragic poetry should. well done!

If I were you I wouldn't post this poem anymore, it makes many dads sorrowful and fearing such feelings. It's shame and giant sin, it should be hidden not spread, maybe it would be an alleviation to those who raped before their babies. Very nice style and rhymes, you wove them most successfully.

This is an intensely emotional poetry you've wrote. I felt sad anyhow about news that a father raped her little daughter. Incest is evil.

this is a very sad poem. you and everyone else should read daddy's little girl written by amelie anonymous. it's very similar to this. she's a great writer also.

this happening is not really new to the third world countries........ a poor economy tells many sad experiences among people.....thank you that you documented it through a poem.....such lovely poem that hits in every angle of life..... hope this will be the starting point to give important to the crime of personal sanctity of a woman in particular.....May the good Lord bless you... my friend
