What would I change?

Change comes in many forms

Physically and mentally.

You change the color of your hair to fit your personality.

But what about permanent changes,

 the ones we never get back?

Like when a loved one grows old and dies from a heart attack.

Some changes can’t be stopped

God dealt the hand that we are given

But I only want one change,

 to stop suffrage of the living.

We shouldn’t be scared to walk these streets alone,

 in danger of human trafficking; never returning home.

Our text books lied about the year 1864

Saying slavery had ended for good, no more.

Here it comes again,

 boys and girls all over the news

Headlines stream: Missing

Got their parents singing the blues.

I want that to be gone and families to be reunited

to have flood gates open up and kids to run out all excited.

Parents crying tears of joy when they see little Jack,

 but in reality he might not ever be coming back

It’s not fair he’s just a little boy that was playing at the parkwhen the search team was organized two hours past dark.

Jack was only 7 with so many opportunities

 when a monster came along crushing all his hopes and dreams

Jack was no longer Jack he was #651

Sold for sex and hard labor like the other unfortunate ones

Who knows how long he will make it

Before he can’t take it

And tries to break free

He comes so close to escaping one night

But runs into one of the men that took him out of site

The man grabs him and asks him what he had done

And then starts to abusive him just for fun

This is the life jack lives

In sorrow and vain

Because human trafficking is still a very large domain

The millions of people who suffer from hardships day to day

Are the ones worth fighting for

And have made me change my ways

The one thing I would change in the world we inhabit

Are the millions of people sold for sex and labor as a profit

I would end human trafficking With the blink of an eye

So no one would ever question themselves as to why?

Why can’t we shed some light on the things in the dark?

Like Jack who did nothing but walk home from the park.
