Part II-Main Presentation
Poem
We live in a city
The city of Brotherly Love,
That I now pity
Because I thought it above.
There is so much traffic
On I-95,
That the traffic gets graphic
And turns to a hive.
Did I forget to mention
The traffic was of humans?
With all of the tension,
We have been avoiding our fellow man
That receives little pension.
And lives in a pan.
Philly’s becoming a hub
For moving innocent people
And putting them on subs
Away from their steeples.
Shipped off because of location,
Between places like NYC
Around this great nation
And across many seas.
Women and children
Torn from their families
Without any siren
Because of their inabilities
Or without any reason.
These people have problems,
They are poverty-stricken
And have failing immune systems
So they’re just trying to get chicken
The inability to stop it
Is because of the way it’s hidden
And how the people commit
To keep it in layers that are forbidden.
This needs to be stopped
One way or another.
It is not ok for someone to be popped
When they might be somebody's mother
Because they said that out they would opt.
Laws are being made
In order prevent this
But people can be paid only so much
To put human trafficking into the abyss
You can help stop it
In January 2013
Where women and children will benefit
From things that will make them clean
That people will donate for no profit.
Everyone deserves a second chance,
Everyone can become better
And you can help someone to enhance
Their life just by getting them a sweater.
