Make cash fast and fame faster!
So sick of living without?
A life where basic needs,
like having heat and water,
are seldom had luxeries?
Eighteen and so many dreams,
yet imprisoned in large debts,
with seemingly no escape?
Welcome to the world of porn!
Festivals stacked with starlets,
smiling with bodies well crafted,
faces that are uplifting,
and spirits unbreakable!
Welcome to the fastest cars,
the penthouse style mansions,
and designer everything!
Phone is ringing constantly,
jobs and producers with work,
shoot after shoot are all lined up!
until the day the calls stop....
All used up and no more work.
Cash goes fast and fame faster.

I've never read a poem on this topic, but I love it! I like how it builds it up until the last line and then tears it down. Well done!

I must admit, though the topic be taboo, I really enjoyed this poem. Your first stanza truly captured the feeling of being eighteen and free of the old "enemies" of school and parents and curfew, but weighted down by newer ones: debts and work. The descent of the child, for he or she is little more than that, into the world of "fast fame," in the pornography industry is truly heartwrenching. My absolute favorite part though, would have to be the way your first and last lines tie in together. The unfortunate reality is that fame, though coming fast, will also leave as fast, as will the fortune. Its a sad tribute to those who chose quick fame and fortune over hard work and diligence, not realizing that rarely does that choice pay off in the long run.

This was tough to read. You have dealt energetically and in a straightforward manner with a taboo subject. Your poem made me feel.

this sounds like a very real account
of an inevitably sad situation
a little over punctuated
for my personal preferences
but well done
