THE RED LIGHT OF CONSENT

The modern-day floozy and bawd,
Isn’t working for your cheers nor applause.
Like a fractured mirror exposes her situation,
Whatever name she uses, false information.

Betty didn’t want to be a harlot or a floozy,
And her life is far removed from that movie.
A Pretty Woman before she turned to the trade,
Betty services men in order to get paid.

Her beautiful little dumplings start to sag,
And the customers want to pay less for a shag.
When they say the oldest profession does no harm,
With Betty’s history this raises the alarm.

Are sex workers only there to serve for pleasure?
Why did Madame Sin become a national treasure?
And how did we learn of her misfortune and her tales,
Salacious details, large print headlines, for paper sales.

If I could liberate exploited women,
I’d help them make a choice on their decision.
I’d start with teaching them with what they’re worth,
And prove they’re not defined by a fate of birth.
