Chattels

Given in appreciation but taken away on request translated to foreign land but asked to surrender everything employed to serve unknown guests but asked to behave brainlessly taken for a tour as personal effect but chained for whims of tourism Today young girls of the world are chattels of people’s wishes They are dustbin of weird whims hijacked, negotiated, looted, lied to are groundnut paste of pleasure nothing in this world they are but chattels, empty scraps!
