Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking.

How atrocious, inhumane,  

Consciously insane

Unlawful, awful

Beyond sanities domain

To make any being a slave

And, in 2014

The worst ever seen

Really?

Human Trafficking.

Humans subdued,

Subjected to brutality

Without sentimentality

What a mentality

Turns humans into cargo

Under the guise

Of civilizing from savagery

Or the ruse

Of from poverty to servitude

Who has that right?

To subdue human beings

Claiming they did not fight

Stealing a child

From their mother’s sight

Denying a son

The dignity of his birth right

A country of their native’s insight

That ain’t right!

That’s the current claim

But centuries of the same

Current powers still disclaim

Though laws and history

Document their shame

Human Trafficking.

Call it by rightful name --

Slavery!

Modern day

Human beings stripped

Voided of dignity

Subjected to cruelty

Human Trafficking.

Stop it today

And, pay for yesterdays’

Neither goes away

It vividly remains as debasing now

As in days past

And without reciprocity

Through cellular consciousness continues to last

Human Trafficking.

Today and yesterday’s victims

Suffer due to Systems

Of thought, culture and tradition

Designed by every day folks

Of power and volition

Change the thought

Correct what’s past

And render Human Trafficking

Void of Mass
