This is very insightful revealing a real vulnerability. It is always a mistake to put your faith in religion but sadly we need to put our faith in something. Wonderful poem.It made me think for the first time in decades

Heart rending truth and express of that truth. I know the can and I know the abuse. The main difference is the environment it occurred in, I was never in the system and now realise that there is nowhere safe. Thanks for sharing what I still have a bit of a journey to arrive at expressing from my past. Thank you.

I read this twice Tobani, first thing this morning and again now. It was a hard read and it must have been very difficult for you to compose. Sadly this happens all too often and it sickens me that people in authority, trusted with the care of children should behave in this way. It ruins lives. A courageous write.

I have harboured questions and often disdain towards authority figures as they inveriably slip riding high horses. The abuse of position of power seems to be as old as our \"civilization\". Don\'t know why we keep up the pretense

I understand your words though they break my heart. I was raised in the same situation also in the 60;s and 70;s. Those days there was no one to tell and even when you didm they just kept it to themselves, sent you back to the den and never spoke of it again. I;m sorry you experienced this.

Abuse of children is sad and deplorable but more common than anyone would want to believe. The powerless have little recourse but to endure.

I love your recognition and sympathy for an often wrongly criticized group, just trying to survive like the rest of us. Very nice work.

The first time we all ever worked at a job we didn’t like or couldn’t do witHout for lack of choice in a sense is prostituting ourself for need. Sometimes any real difference is quite blurred.

It\'s a tough gig, and from what I remember most need strong drugs to get through.
Street workers cope the most abuse, either from the client or the pimp, or both.
But who\'s to blame? Without the demand there would be no game.

I\'m not aware enough of the game or personal circumstances to know why the hell she doesn\'t join a legal brothel, (if they exist in the UK).
A painful write, Tob.

I am sorry your country is going through such devastation. Living in the US, I have been blessed not to eperience such horrific and scary situations. My heart hurts for the innocent people who have no choice but are thrown in a war they don\'t deserve. Thank you for sharing this, it gives one the inside from someone who knows.

Lady of The Night (Out of Need)

How easily we look down upon others. We forget that we are all human beings, brothers and sisters. This poem brings to mind the poem by Willis Unseen company.. Forgive me for introducing this.
“The shadows lay along Broadway for was nearly twilight tide
And slowly there’re a lady fair was walking in her pride
Alone while she but viewlessly walked spirits at her side
Peace charmed the street beneath her feet on honor charmed the air
And all the astir, spoke kind of her and called her good as fair
For all God ever gave to her, she kept with chairy care
She kept with care, her beauty, rare from lovers, warm, and true
For heart was cold to all but gold and the rich came out to woe
But honored well are charms to sell if priests the selling do
Now walking, there is one more fair a slight girl, Lily, pale
And she had unseen company, which would make the spirit quail
Twix wanted and scorn she walked forlorn till nothing could avail
No mercy now can clear her brow from this world’s peace to pray
For as loves wild prayer dissolved in air, her woman’s heart gave away
But the sin forgiven by Christ in heaven, man that curse always”

This is terribly sad but ever so common and true .. I work a lot with sex workers (both male & female) & many have hearts of gold and would do anything to help someone else in need not to mention their own flesh and blood .. Excellent my friend .. Neville

Wow! Putting yourself in other\'s shoes requires thoughtful intentionality and humility. That is so lacking in this world, but your poem shows it is not completely lacking. Indeed, this poem serves as a call to action to all who have open ears and hearts to hear and receive. Excellent poem Tobani! 🌹👏

Survival is everything. If you have a child to feed, you wouldn’t hesitate if you couldn’t find another way to bring in the bread. Don’t judge others, show some compassion. Tabani, you have narrated this situation skillfully. It is a dangerous situation to contemplate, but survival overrules everything else. Wonderfully composed.
