Lady of the Night!

Your body men desire It fills them full of fire They want so much To feel the touch The gifts you have for hire. You walk the streets so dark Your future bleak and stark You work for bugs To buy the drugs That really hit the mark. Your pimp is a drug dealer A professional money stealer You feel the pain Hooked on cocaine He is your true fate-sealer. You passing nobody to mourn Thirty years since you were born You only know your punter Who really was your hunter But it’s you the people scorn!

The vicious circle...i wonder where the society is heading, when we eradicate a problem we keep the root to give it a new name and find it a problem again...it reminds me of my poem denouement. Well done. Sunita :)

Sad, but (in most cases) true. A relevant and well-written poem....

it shows the desperation of these women, who feel there's no out, at least not easily.

Very dark and sinister, your poem is for The Lady of The Night.

So many young women take to the streets and face the trials you describe so well in your rhyme, Roger. But shouldn't those who "hire" these women accept an equal amount of scorn? They say prostitution is the world's oldest profession, but it is also one of the saddest. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
