Poor Soul Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Poor Soul

Rating: 5.0


She cries
Herself
To sleep
This night
Every night
Hungry
To the bone
No money
No such food
She has sold
Her body
To filthy
Rich bastards
Who've stolen
Her damn food

This is the story of the sadly 'fallen women'! Starvation and poverty compel them to sell their body to human vultures who feed on flesh!
