Poem Title:
Poem
We don't see it in our everyday lives. Its not one of our husbands or wives. We don't think about it on our daily drives. I'm here to tell you about the few who survives. I'm not talking about cancer or some disease. Its about something that goes on in our borders and over seas. We need to wake up and walk out of our caves, because I'm talking about human trafficking and human slaves. I know its not something you want to talk about, but its here and all around, no doubt. Everything I write in this poem is nothing but true. It is as hard to write as it is to read, I assure you. In several countries, girls are sent out on a date. They are sent out at the young age of eight. No one around to hear their cries in their vicinity. When a forty year old man steals her virginity. These girls are ripped from their homes and families and sold. They can never talk about it, so their stories go untold. It is disgusting to write this and talk about this crime, but in some countries, it costs a quarter to sleep with a girl for her first time. Then with no anesthesia and no pain medication, she sees a surgeon. She is sown back up and sold to another nation, as a virgin. Now this next story was told to me in session and is perturbing. I am a counselor and when she told it to me, I even found it disturbing. An 11 year old girl and her 13 year old sister were sold as objects. They were sold for their bodies and for sex. When the 13 year old was ordered to go with a man to bed, she refused, and her 11 year old sister saw her get shot in the head. Sadly, that isn't the worst thing I've been told. But these girls, always close to my heart is where I hold. I wrote this so you people can open up your eyes. So you people know whats going on, and so you can hear, the unheard cries.
