Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

- 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
