- 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)

What a response you got from this poem. I just finished the KIte Runner series of books . Have you read them? It revolves around life in Afganistan and the horrible plight of women. This is a special poem and thank you for writing it. Barbara

Man!!! Very well done. I am part of a network that fight Trafficing in various ways. Thank you for sharing this. The more that people know, and the more we become aware, the more we can fight against this evil. Stop in and read some of my ramblings when you get time. Much love . . .

AnnelLise; This is so sad. I wanted to write a poem about This type if thing, but it would have been different. It would be about grown ups. There is so much of that going on - that it is out of control. Thanks for sharing and for liking my poem..... Lucilla

It's such a sorrowful state of affairs in some nations. You wrote well Annelise, addressing this matter of grave concern. A daughter is so unwanted, and it shows parents too can be inhuman... I appreciate your writing on this!
