Pretty Nikaya
She is diligent and gracious
in her trade which has a stigma,
although pleasant and vivacious,
she started like an enigma,
many find it hard to believe,
~her companionship is a relieve.
Blame her not!for it`s not her fault,
Being raped at twelve by an unknown
dude,due to her parent default,
struggled to survive on her own,
after demise of her parent,
Abused again;which is aberrant.
Left alone at very young age,
exposed to wickedness of men,
Her perception was full of rage,
her self-esteem was dented,then;
but at last!,she walked right through it,
New disposition boost her outfit.
She is not to be called a whore,
Her intelligence and traits tried
to pull off this garment she wore,
call her a vixen then you`ve lied,
This dame is ~contrast to her trade,
redemption and change came as she prayed.
Pretty Nikaya,she`s being named
for her prowess and pretty face,
In a coup d`etat she was framed,
but vindicated without trace,
Marriage with kids is a nice feat,
senate house is now her place of seat.
~~~~~She `s now a senator and an advocator for women empowerment~~~~Hmm!what a great woman~~~...
