A Big City Dream

You live in a small house away from town 

Where poverty and suffering always lets you down

One day I'll be rich and live in the city you think

But little did you know your dreams would shatter in a blink

As you turn twenty two one day

Off to the city you go your way 

Struggle  to find a job doesn’t end

To the city life you’re unable to blend

Soon one day a lady approaches you

A job offer in a big city ahead she threw

You become mesmerized and happy again

But the lady had a business of selling men

They held you in an apartment and took your passport away

To fill documents you’d be photographed the next day

It was strange but you believed them

Next, you were put on a plane with a fake passport and a fake name

After landing you were taken to an apartment 

Where you were ordered to make ten thousand dollars without a penny being spent

For 11 months waitressing at a nightclub was your job

But one day you saw a police car pull up 

Instead of running you let the police arrest you 

As you had a fake ID deported back to the city you flew 

You had to spend a year in jail

Then you filed a report to not let your self esteem sell

To your luck three of the traffickers were caught

But with all this to streets you were brought 

You started working in a restaurant once more

Until you were approached by a NGO at your door

They offered you work you weren’t sure you’d fit in 

But slowly began to trust them considering the misery your life had been

Today you work to save others like you 

So that no one will have you experience what you went through.
