To Others She's Worth

In a corner I kneel Naked as birth Worthless I feel To others I appear worth I worked in a bar A customer I've just met He's promised this and that My future I think set A new life he'd find Better prospects I'd face To this customer I've just met I reach out to embrace We meet in the morning At a disclosed quiet place My journey for a new life With a smile on my face Into my unknown Down dirt roads and farm tracks After travelling for hours I start to relax At a farmhouse we stop Outside parked are fancy cars In the middle of nowhere My mind thinks so bizarre Entering we go This cold and eerie place Strangers they all are To a wall I'm told to face Orders are given To please turn around Strip naked to bare Quiet, not a sound A door opens In walk smartly dressed men They appear haggling, bartering Again and again To me they approach Pointing, stern faced Naked to these men In this now nowhere place I am led away Injection I am given Into involuntary slumber In deranged driven I awaken hours later To the sound of city life In a seedy room somewhere My heart races rife Weeks and months pass Many men to forget Soiled and degraded Instructed, by the man in the bar I'd met http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/dark-5.php

Simply heartbreaking scenario James and sadly this disgusting practice is still going on - innocent naive girls drugged and treated as meat for men to enjoy - thanks for bringing this to my attention - i can see how you linked the two poems! Hugs jan xx 7 xx

Thank you so much for viewing, let alone commenting. Many of my older poems are about Society, and how we as humans are letting ourselves down so much. Always hugs from me to you, James xx

I'd viewed a documentary relating to people trafficking in Eastern Europe, mainly young teenage girls. This is what prompted this write, purely to highlight it in my poetry - James......
