Sex Trade Misery
Rampant will of mankind
Pride of Women turned;
The lust of boys is billowed
And the images will burn
New pathways of their vision,
Now blighted by their sin
Crippled by addiction
And bound by chains within.
When did porn precede purity?
When did lust distort love’s fight?
When did rape replace the beauty
Of a bride and groom’s delight?
When could devils ruin glory
Through the sordid TV speak,
Parading sex as party
And painting true love weak?
The pull of porn is poison
The zombies stagger in
To see a neighbour’s daughter
Struggle, sadly locked in sin,
Feigning passion, weeps inside
Used for slave trade’s selfish gain
Cast aside for cuter, younger,
Destiny of lonely pain.
What do women of the darkness
Tell their children what they do?
Twenty years less they will wander
Before death claims them too.
No pension, no provision
No inheritance she gives
Her life bereft of meaning
Slowly dies before it lives.
