A Sex Worker Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Sex Worker

Rating: 5.0


Someone asked her,
what's your religion,
what's your mother tongue,
what's your nationality,
and what's your race?
She smiled and replied,
my religion is love,
may be for a night only.
My mother tongue is the body language,
universal in nature.
No nationality,
I am international.
And what of my race!
I am a daughter of the Eve!
Kidnapped at the age of five
and thrown down from paradise of home,
to the sex markets of the earth,
you call it mother earth,
for me it's a Hell!
A Hell where I met more than hundreds of Adams' sons
and forgot all of them,
but the one my first customer,
I didn't take any money from him,
how can I forget him!
