He watched the images on his screen
The most photogenic
Victoria can’t keep a secret at all
Camera scans from toe to head
The dizzying path in between
Oh so delightful
Seductress, enchantress, Chanteuse
Such beauty , amazing and more
Such eyes, so captivating;
Make up make over, make new, renew!
The breasts, so many, so round, on sale this week!
He sat and watched the images on his screen:
A child starves to death today,
The mother can no longer make milk for her baby
She starves, she can no longer make tears….
The eyes of a starving child;
the mother so low.
He leaves his screen,
rises from his seat;
“where the hell is my wallet”

Oh I do wish I hadn't read this, I am both upset now and angry! How the fuck can someone pay for porn when someone else is suffering? It's disgusting. I mean fair enough, we can't save everyone, and can't do everything for others, but we can be a respected human being and not to put lust and other sins to one side. It's just disgusting! Makes me so mad!!

I would be very happy if that was the case in most people that the images and the words we write can make a person want to help instead of getting the Victoria's Secrets catalogue. You prove a point so well and make it a little light hearted too.
Love, Chez

This is incredible, my Friend...You've run the gamut from the overindulgences of a glamourous existence to the abject suffering of poverty in so few words...Good luck in Bunny's contest, Poet Man...
