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
