Pornography

Folder: 
Society

That girl in that video
he watches
is more than just a body.

 

He didn’t even catch her name
before he lusted for her.

 

She’s worth more
than his brief moment of pleasure.

 

She was created for relating,
not for masturbating.

 

He feeds his indecency,
caters to his whims
regardless of the consequences.

 

But he doesn’t even know
her name.

 

He doesn’t even know
why she’s here
selling her body
to a million empty souls.

 

He doesn’t know that
this career
makes her cry herself
to sleep every night.
