Helpless Girls

helpless girls
don't bring a woman 
to the world 
and let her be alone
in a world of beast 
in shadows of men 

when a girl is let alone
at young age 
in places like the third
world countries 
she will likely be a tool 
of abuse extortion and 
degraded

when a girl is let alone 
in the street 
she could become 
an addict to drugs 
she could build 
an alter of prostitution
to make life worth a while

don't let a girl alone
in the wild street
where evil hunters 
gather to satisfy their 
corrupt ego 
a lot of our women 
has gone six feet 
so early from abuse 
from  sexual torture
from immorality 

never let a girl alone
to wonder in pains
I wonder of those 
helpless girls
still in streets 
all over the corners on 
our third world countries 
is obvious that poverty
is never an ending story 
and till now 
it bleeds too many 
helpless girls

A sad but never the less true story of what life is for these young women/girls. Well written on a subject not easy to write about, kind regards to you Richard, Kevin
