Death for dishonor

A crusty old boss causes death to a girl’s dad

And his dishonor weaving a swindling story.

The father’s death is beginning of daughter,

The glory of womanhood, a sweet revenge

When sold body is defiled for a sweet cause.

A body has no purity when dead, in father.

The gun is boss’ own phallus, waiting to die

And wipe the dishonor on daughter’s father.
