there we were
in a café
enjoying each other's company
I looked to my right
and saw a Filipina lady
and a white man
eating their breakfasts silently
"she seems unhappy
and anxious"
I thought to myself
**********
I asked my mother.
she says yes and nods.
I hope that one day
that lady won't have
to sell herself
to make a living.

Many women in the Philippines are prostitutes for a living, and a lot of the time, it's not their fault. I wish there were another way for them.
