What About Them?

What About Them?

Lately
ThereĀ 
has been
so muchĀ 
attention
to injustices
given
to undocumented
immigrants.

Just Today
the Media
broadcasted
Politicians
Protesting
That Children
Are being
taken away
from their
Parents
Over this
Immigration
Debacle

Yet no
voice
is given
to the countless
children and women
being sold into
the sex traffic industry
a business
being
ran through
our
back door
What About them?
What About them?

I guess
they
don't fit
in the current
political agenda
An Unspoken
Yet realĀ 
consequence
to an open
border policy...

So tomorrow
when you
turn on theĀ 
TV
and hear all
the outrage
about immigration
Take a minute
close your eyes
and imagine
an unairconditioned
trailer
full of shackled
young women
crossing aĀ 
border without
walls
and
ask
yourself
one
question
what about them?
