“These Texas gals are passionate about God’s beautiful design for womanhood…” – Girldefined.com
Blonde godheads, god girls, proselytizing
YouTube doll babies. Their blog favicon
a white-panty period stain. Sweet girls,
what do they desire? Girldefined, ecstatic
girl-tongue. Girl is Jesus’ daughter and his
wife. White Jesus with pecs and a six
pack, blank Ken-doll genitals. God
Made You Beautiful, Despite
How Ugly You Feel. How nice that was
of God. He defined girl; God said girl
is a hole to spit in. God girls want to get
thumped by God’s beam-of-light
cock. Girldefined sisters, sister-wives
of Christ, trying to get him hard,
but the world’s aborted fetuses are God’s
anti-Viagra. God girls see me
in their analytics, typing lesbian
into the search bar. Not defined here
as girl. Girldefined girls define God
so literally. He’s a dude in a basement
with a sign that says Man Cave.
Hard at work creating the pussy.
