Lucky Hadassah,
She won a beauty contest!
Which is nice
Every girl
Should own at least one tiara.
The food is good at the palace
And there’s probably other perks.
But she has to sleep
(That’s putting it nicely)
With that grotesque,
That drunk, that autocrat,
That screamer, that narcissist,
That wastrel, that misogynist,
That idiot who will say yes to
Whoever
Is the last person he talked to:
Kill the Jews
Don’t kill the Jews
Whatever.
That’s jumping ahead in our story,
We’re still in Chapter 2,
The one where Hadassah is
Kidnapped
Trafficked
Objectified
Groomed
Raped.
The one in which she
Loses her true name
And is used by Cousin Mordecai
To make his.
Lucky Esther,
She won a beauty contest.
