Prostitution

She leans against the rusty pole that dimly lights the street

Popping her gum and twirling her hair waiting for someone to meet

A vehicle rolls to a stop in front of her and invites her in

She accepts the invitation and travels to her place of business

She does her deed and picks up her cash

And returns to her rusty post looking for her next ride

A few more come and go and the cash is flowing

She starts to believe that she is making something of herself

What this little 16 year old girl doesn’t realize

She is exposed to life too soon

She has reduced herself to a product for sale

Never truly getting paid for what she does
