The clock ticks
5:06 does the time read
and in gathering her thoughts for what lay ahead
her heart did bleed
body worn
pleasing the fantasies of ravenous wolves
that only prey on innocent voices
who know not how strong they are
there’s only so many holes
the human body has to offer
but pockets must be filled
at the expense of her right and will
her day started
when she was fifteen
and ten years later
she’s yet to see moonlight
because she’s in the limelight
of physique and ability
so to men and women
everything is a possibility
how brave is the dove
young mother making nest in the city
fighting both raven and sparrow
to live in prosperity
she looks in the mirror everyday
and sees her time tick away
ten years ago, she was an A student
now she takes it up the A-hole for a living
ten years ago, she was a devout Christian
now she knows everything she does is sinning
money’s only an addiction
until you start feeling the friction
of all the people and places you’ve been missin’
because they were taken all away while you were livin’
beaten black and blue
without anywhere to run to
promise her another shot at life
she’ll take anything from you
(The sex trade is global, and it’s real. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry, and while it’s not talked about much, it affects the lives of millions of girls, and boys. Sexual exploitation is highly profitable in a sex-crazed world that’s lost much of its moral standards, but that doesn’t make it right. These children, teenagers, and adults don’t have a voice. I mean, they do, but how many of us are Liam Neeson and can find them? You wouldn’t believe who runs a child sex ring herself: Hillary Clinton. Bet NBC, Fox, CNN, and MSNBC won’t talk about that. But she “cares” about children, and she supports “women’s rights”. Don’t watch porn, it degrades our standards and proves to these sex traders that people need more and more sex. Watch out for your kids, especially your girls. Tell them they’re beautiful, tell them they’re amazing, that way when someone else does it they won’t believe them. Be aware. The three biggest sex trafficking states in the U.S are California, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Watch documentaries, read first hand accounts. Those caught in the sex trade are the tragedy nobody is brave enough to call a tragedy, because too much money is involved.)

So sad but true, and growing every day. I pray, and keep a watchful eye. There is a war going on, but most would laugh if I told them, it is indeed spiritual, and the truth of what happens to many of the victims, would give us nightmares. Thank you for writing so graciously on this.
