Alemeye Gammo Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Someone went to the market To buy as he did want Held a few many in the pocket The thing he did see Had a power to attract, and has a beauty With cost, some were expensive Some were cheap, to take and receive Vendors of beauty, as their desire Neither agreed and nor To sell merely as the need of a buyer But to the interest of profit That was a beautiful, and this one was, too Every body chose them for woo But those girls were not ready To be sold enduringly They needed to be rented momentarily For men’s satisfaction A place of prostitution Are found everywhere What you can say for this for that matter Some are in bother and hunger Some are new with fear Some women stand at the door for habit Despaired, or holding a hope to be changed by it Or to get the daily victual to subsist August 29, 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
