Angelic Interception

She was turning sixteen at the stroke of midnight, Unbeknown to family her unfortunate blight, Was about to become work in progress, No need to ask permission or advise or confess, A beautiful young girl about to be added and abandoned To statistics, thrown to the four winds to waste, And why, because she met him, he sealed her fate, A fiendish twenty-two-year-old acne faced pimp, Clueless, badly spoken, helpless addict, a wimp, She would join the soulless after he’d ravaged her, His bright red Ferrari bought with blood, did readily purr. It’s bucket seats stained with muck from within his self, Using his filthy, nasty, perilous, notorious, smelly wealth. Suddenly the sixteen year old beauty was surrounded by light, At the stroke of the city clock chiming twelve, at midnight, It was halfway between a dirty syringe and a planned binge, Reality woke her up, saw a gap escaped, ran as far as she could, Was swept up in the arms of her parents, who finally understood, They were about to lose their daughter to the war on drugs, And a handful of mercenary, manipulative criminals, thugs, But the angel of mercy was on her side, with a stern might. The pimp hopelessly drunk and pumped with drugs took other girls Lives, as they flew like birds over the cliff side, screaming with fright.

Yes, and while these horrendously evil things are going on, the Devil is laughing out loud. Excellent job on this timely, vividly expressive piece, Jennifer. Janice

It is so sad what is happening on the drug scene. Now there is something out there that is packaged to look wonderful to our youth and it can kill with one dose. Meri beaucoup for sharing this timely updated work and for dropping by my page. Sara

The malicious effect of drugs on people are more than one can imagine. Her parents must have been virtuous people to have got their daughter rescued from the hands of the thugs. A hair raising story, dear friend.

WoW! What a story! So glad it had a happy ending. However that is the plight of many a young girl to dumb to realize that this is not glamor and they won't get rich they will just become slaves. Great job here Jennifer. God Bless, JB

It’s so awful the amount of people who depend on drugs, they don’t realise that drugs end lives. It’s so sad that youngsters such as the girl of sixteen in your story get targeted by drug users. So glad the girl had an angelic interception. A great write Jennifer, blessings and hugs ~ Belle

I live in a city where the homeless have shopping carts they live out of. Alcohol is called Spirits for a reason. It's the spirit given you that you can't resist. It takes a lot to destroy a parents love. But it happens everyday.

What a crying shame, where we live also, the same is happening, - 'Spirits' at least they can get through to the next day, how they do it i don't know, who are the braver, them or us, we all have routine in our lives, but for the many souls of humanity we do have a plan for tomorrow, the destitute pushing a shopping cart, without spirits could probably lose their sanity. Thank you for your visit and very relevant comment. Blessings Jennifer.

A heartbreaking story of mistakes, horrific abuse, and the angel of mercy to seal her plight. Your poem bought the pain and injustice brought about by those that thrive on the abuse of the naive. and the tragedy felt by both the victum and those that love her. Very engaging poetry, Jennifer. A message that needs to be repeated often so others don't make the same mistakes. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us my dear friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Hi Bill i am so thankful i found poetry soup and made such wonderful friends including you my Texan friend. These situations happen daily and this 16 year old had a guardian angel. I wish it could end up like this story for many more but the pimp still took his revenge and wasted many more lives . Keep well blessed and happy hugs galore., Jennifer
