It rained on and on. The fire in the hearth Had long died out. Hunger grew, Frustration raged. Vultures swooped down to feed on flesh. Half willing, half resenting, Surrendered, rather subdued, Desires spilled over, Bristles pricking From ***** to ***** Thrusting and tearing Devouring in greedy gulp Waves surging past the log Passion spent, Hunger appeased, Purse strings loosened, Silver coins tinkled. Amply paid, Her wages of shame…… The toil not wasted! The reel of Time unwound itself, And the scenes, constantly replayed. ‘Exploring hands encounter(ed) no defense’. Each day closed in ****** h(r) ut, When the h(r) ut turned a **** She started to rot. Feeble she grew, Languid she became, Body thinned, Energy waned, Ailments plagued, And Immunity lost! Now, She lives an outcast. A wild flower wilted by the wind! A luscious fruit blighted by the worms!

My sympathies are always with the marginalized and the exploited ! We could have been one of them, but fortune favored us ! This thought ever rules me !
