never lose sight of light even as pearls of tears falling off your face painted walls of torture and pain silk and honey rubbed on your skin to be scraped off by the tongue of the gods enthralled as your master if only to spare your agony but you know nothing exist between you and your dreams promised of a gold filled tomorrow now rest on your skills blow and suck and let them lick your petals ah if only you know you've been fooled used and worn like those linens now crumpled on your feet how long will it be, when you realize they will get away with these crimes while you lay rotten, shamed and beaten and no one heard of your screams because their weapon and defense is encrypted in our silence the never ending game afforded by money and fame
and as you lay weak and dying you have become nothing just a piece of a** bought and paid for
by these masters of evil we call: the guardians of our lost souls. if only you knew.

About this poem:
I was touched by the sad plights of our young souls caught in the abyss of prostitution.
I was reading Jeffrey Epstein and the many victims of his evil deeds.
It breaks my heart.
I titled it to signify the lies they promise to the victims and families when their first approach them.
I've seen a grim documentary presented by Demi Moore about their recruiting strategy in Asia especially Nepal, Philippines, etc.
Phil my darling friend. How sweet of you to acknowledge and recognize that which aches in my heart. The injustice committed against humanity magnified because of the power of money.
Love that's quite a good analysis you confirmed about this necessary evil. I agree with you. I'd rather that for the safety and dignity, at least self-respect, there's no force used in making anyone obliged to the job. It's happening legalized or not. It's for the protection and safety of those that feel alright to be in this profession. Personally I will never do it, not only because of my religion but for the fact that I just am not fit to do it. Then again per history, as in the abject poverty times of the old Europe, women felt entitled to do the job, for financial as well as social status, I think I might get acceded to avail myself. For right now I'm lucky I don't need to do it for survival reasons.
Thanks.

Thank you Lindsey.

Cafe it's absolutely a mark of hedonistic life to patronize such a heinous act.
I am sure all these evil acts will end, I'm sure, just don't know when.
I am sorrowful my friend.
Thanks.
