Earth Trafficking
Claim her soul
Enslave for pennies
Fence her freedom
And leave her chained
Trample her daily
With mindless beasts
Strip her softness
And leave her hardened
Shave her head
Burn and plunder
End her glory
And leave her bald
Tear off her clothes
Penetrate deep
Pull out her treasures
And leave her scarred
Slash her flesh
Watch her bleed
Drain her essence
And leave her bare
Force your seed
Inject your poison
Kill her strength
And leave her barren

STOPThis is so very gripping.... And heart wrenching. Beautifully done
Wow. A powerful conviction of humanity’s usurious stewardship of our only earth.
Oh wow. So much here. It is barebones language, but so densely rich too. Exactly like yiur subject.
I love the links too to a woman's body.
So would I've found your work on Steemit, @firststeps ♥
Powerful lines.
Old and New World slavery, white slave trade, women trafficking, prostitution, clandestine pornography... You got me to imagine terrible scenes from news, tales and movies. Vexation is the word that defines the mood in your piece.
Any writer can learn from this piece the importance of objective correlative to convey message and effect--and affect.
