The pearly-scaled mermaid submerged
Hiding herself in the sea
Where she found three young black boys
Adrift amidst the corals
Seeking the goddess
When she approached them
All they knew was to ensnare her
to vilify, to rape her in their minds
She retreated to shore
Finding no solace
Holding the severed phallus of boyhood
Lost to a world of corruption
Shedding pearls of tears onto the sand
