My Year Quote

Being a prostitute,
                                     Is not a substitute-
                                     When one is destitute, 
                                     Cos it tarnishes the image, one constitutes! 

                                                    Adelaja  2011…

Yes, it certainly does, Adelaja, but what if one's children are starving to death.What would a mother do if she could find absolutely no way to earn money for food.(I believe in your words, just playing devils' advocate here!)

One must be astute to institute measures that restitute a prostitute.
