Sex Trade Misery

Chained hands of a person trapped in the sex trade and pornography.

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.
