Prostitute

My eyes shoot

Like my brother owl hoot

Far across the street

Where the barb wire meet

A young woman hovers

Like the leprechaun and clovers

In the darkest part of the night

Where she would have to fight

For she is self employed

Who poverty had deceived and lured

To the dangerous part of life

Like the poison goat who dead

Just like the bird in waiting

Patiently hoping there won't be any fainting

And her enterprise is to sell

Or her pocket will be dry as the Nile

Her own flesh and soul

Or she is bound to fail

But then again the society steps in

Hiding behind their metallic inn

She has principle and moral

But they are nether written or in oral

Who will save her from this crazy world?
