Poetry

He stares at the images flash on the TV
They turn him on in ways
His wife cannot suffice
She’s home, channels change
She is greeted with all smiles and fly down
She presses recall
They fight, divorce

All to feed pornographic addiction
That destroys lives

She’s a hot shot porn star
Sucked in with glitz and glam
But now truth be revealed
Men don’t bow to dirt
They walk on it
She wants out but cant
She’s kept prisoner by the drugs

All to feed pornographic addiction
That destroys lives

He searched goggle, yahoo, and MSN
To find every image he can
Even though he’s only ten
He doesn’t have any friends
No need for them when
You have to naked pictures to get
And mom and dad don’t care
Boys will be boys after all

All to feed pornographic addiction
That destroys lives

Seventeen year old beauty queen
Makes a boyfriend or two
Or fifty online IMing
Firsts it’s the cyber sex
Then the pictures are sent
It’s not long before the web cam
She thinks they love her
Thing is they love only flesh

All to feed pornographic addiction
That destroys lives

He wakes at midnight
To find mommy’s gone
On another late night date
With another strange man
And he’s left with Bubby
Ages five and nineteen
They worry the same
Will this be the night?
Mommy never comes home

All to feed pornographic addiction
That destroys lives

She strips for the camera
She is only fourteen
And tears stain her cheeks
She had to be an early bloomer
So daddy won’t get in trouble
As long as the webpage says she’s eighteen
He can make fortunes
Showing the world his “fun”

All to feed pornographic addiction
That destroys lives

So what are you going to do?
Sit on her your buff?
Twiddle your thumbs?
Pretend it’s not real?
Well it’s real and its here
I’m in your face
Bringing truth to the masses
Because we sit in silence
Way too long
How would these stories end?
If something was said

To end the pornographic addiction
That destroys lives
