Comfort Woman: Que Sera Sera, what will be, will be!
Taking a rue look at the awesome sight
Of one, a prison guard slouching at the door way
A lean looking geek seemingly on diet
Mystic and a soul mate unashamedly at play
Narry a bother on such starry nights
Just keeping mum without a say
The unaccustomed just shivered with fright
It would at least have kept the wolves at bay
They made an appearance as darkness fell
Moving slowly progressing, a kiss, without a sound
Surreptitiously goaded along by the aroma of erotic smells
The meek the lame and the weak fell at every round
Having satisfied their cravings on the sly
As daybreak showed signs of emerging
Readying themselves flapping wings to fly
The victims shocked, were left wondering
What possibly could have them in such fits
Feeling nauseous but very much alert
They cringe asking would there be a repeat
Of the embarrassment they could ill afford

ReplyDeletethe stories of comfort women in war times are truly controversial. until their old age the pain is still inside. I wonder how much it changed now when there are some who choose to be just that -- comfort women. great write through history :)
