Big glossy city lights

The lights of the city shine brightly

In a neon blazing shimmering haze

Everything appears so glossy

The streets seem to be paved with gold

But behind the grand visage hides depravity and evil

In shadows and anonymous buildings

Illeagal acts take place

All forms of crime and corruption

Where the vulnerable and the innocent are the prey

Where desperate and lost people do what they need to each day

Stealing, stripping and prostitution, anything that pays

Behind the bright city neon lights of the city

Nothing ever is quite as it seems.

  1. “Where desperate and lost people do what they need to each day
    Stealing, stripping and prostitution, anything that pays”, I can have a certain amount of compassion for the poor criminals, as long as they’re not killing/trafficking others. But the rich do the same things “stealing, stripping and prostitution”, every trophy bride is a rebranded prostitute. Actually “poor” strippers can make a lot of money, so I don’t feel sorry for them at all and have zero respect for them objectifying themselves and ruining the work that feminists try to do. I feel the most compassion for honest, working class poor people. They suffer the most injustice.

    1. Agreed, my heart bleeds for all the poor who suffer for all those trafficked and I am repulsed by those who get wealthy off sweat blood and suffering of those struggling each day.
