- Human Trafficking -

A little baby girl is born Dark hair brown eyes - so beautiful The mother weeps for her little baby girl Her fate is already determined and her mother thoughts you will never get She is the fifth child in the family One boy and four girls Mother and father are proud of their son Girls - makes no pride Three girls are already promised a price Human trafficking and child abuse How much is the fourth girl worth 02.02.2014 A-L Andresen :) (3 th in the contest)
