Red Light
Girls chance, dark nights
Men glance, red lights
Walk by, car stop
Eye spy, knee drop
Cheap thrill, money seek
Bitter pill, turn cheek
Nights out, morning comes
Doubts shout, pimp runs

Author's Note
After watching a documentary which was heartbreaking about the desperate plight of Women who are often forced into prostitution whether it to pay bills, sadly drug addiction and shockingly students to pay off there student fees, another sad subject in this sometimes cruel World.

Amazing what sometimes must be done to survive. Not a very pleasant survival but there it is

Brilliantly written, Pete. Into the list it belongs. It is heartbreaking indeed. Thanks for sharing this on a subject that needs more intention. Great song choice, love The Police. Especially " Murder By Numbers," I think it was a brilliant song. Appreciate you.
