Trafficking Poems - Poems about Trafficking

A GIRL AND A DREAM
Like every other young girl She holds a dream, vast and bright But born in a land of dark shadows That hunt and silence dreams. Tempted by a shinning chance She seized it with both trembling hands Unaware of the story on the next page A huge decision at a tender age. Chartered, restrained like a fragile glass...

SOMEWHERE
Somewhere in the land of "riches" Near the birthplace of God A young girl is in bondage Mothering at an early age. Taken from somewhere in Africa Near the birthplace of despair Lured by promises of a well-paying job A lucrative opportunity, a better life. Yet, there she is, at a tender age Living in heaven but trapped in a cage Cleaning floors and washing...

“SUMMER” Where has Summer gone? The world has lost Summer Sweet little dream missing all those other beautiful small dreams seen as toys small and inconsequential casually tossed aside, disposable play, things pure shining lights smiling eyes once so bright, switched off, 'neath smothering blankets of frost no tinkling remnants of mischievous giggles, nor echo of laughter cuddling puppy dogs, sugar ‘n spice and everything nice Gone is...

Rain falling down on magenta leaf Seemed like a forbidden feeling Dreamed as a despair on ceiling Loud stormy, yet ears still deaf This poor self awoke because of wetness Ache not cured well in deeply heart Leaving roots of wound not in curt This suffer mind sank under sadness mum! Mummy please didn't do it to me dumb! Daddy please didn't dattch it...

Promised Land
I once had a post card with a picture of paradise It had lovely scenery that wetted the eyes With The glassy skyscrapers that mesmerise It was a land where bliss and beauty lies After a journey in the dark with a smuggler as my host A sea swallowing lives roared at me at the coast I saw my fantasy turn...

People Trafficking
People trafficking is like selling drugs Organised by not caring thugs The traffickers provide this service now Huge sums to get over borders in their know how And to take chances across desert and the seas To brave the navies and the border guards they see It seems to me the black economies flourish In the bordering countries who choose not...

Human Trafficking
She ran away, Into the night, Alone and sad. They saw her, Watched, then approached, Offered her kindness. She felt safe, With innocent trust She accepted friendship, Went with them, Believed in goodness. They beat her. Force fed drugs, Imprisoned, bound, gagged. Trapped and scared She wet herself. Men came in Violated, ravished, despoiled. Screaming in pain, Hungry and cold. The abuse continued, Day after day Death threats delivered. Family and friends Search and appeal. Police examine evidence. Twelve hour shifts In...

Sex Trafficking, It Must Be Stopped
Sex Trafficking, It Must Be Stopped! There are some girls who are brutally betrayed, Ripped apart from their families who care, Stolen at knife point, maliciously swayed, Stolen at night when no one is aware. Some are promised a life full of laughter, Jobs in a new world and careers of fame, Only to find nightmares for long after, Bondage, torture and such...

Human Trafficking
I see her coming home at dawn, Looking completely withdrawn, It makes me sick to my stomach to know you’ve sent her out working, Watching her come home, I see you lurking. She’s my age so I imagine if it was me,  How an earth can you sit there happily.  I watch her smile and she seems so...
