the guardians of our lost souls

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.

Very sad.

Thanks all for your reads and comments if any.

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.

I am sorrowful my friend.

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. wave

With the current battle going on against predators the likes of Weinstein, I'm not sure if this evil act will ever stop.
