Today's picture prompt on Write Stuff is of a sad and lonely girl on a beach...what is your first thought when you look at the picture...these are mine.
Freedom
She's got her freedom now...she thinks,
Her life is all her own.
No ties, no leash...no ball and chain,
She's free to be alone.
What she does to her body...
She alone is free to choose.
Freedom to snort...freedom to shoot...
She's free to self-abuse.
Squalid sex..with sleazy guys...
Now nowhere left to hide...
Doesn't know them..doesn't care...
She's free to lose her pride.
What future for this loveless child..
A short life filled with pain.
Disease, remorse...addiction
A soul flushed down the drain.
How many more just like her..
Condemned by social mores...
Disenfranchised and forgotten
Like festering, running sores.
Who cares for her...who gives a damn..
If this girl lives or dies..
Not those who could...nor those who should...
No politician cries.
Not those who could...nor those who should...
No politician cries.
