Red light
William Carlos Williams 1883 (Rutherford) – 1963 (Rutherford)
She walks at night alone
Bruised knees tears ruin her beautiful face.
Tears rolling.
Tears rolling.
Hello do you want me.
Hello sir,
Hi he beams, only seeing her beauty.
Come girl,come with me.
She sullenly greets an does as fit see's
Such beauty.
Yet nobody not one gent nor Lady,
Do yet see those rolling tears run free .
As nobody sees this beauty as to them she is all but meat yet another shilling,Doller a nothing just a child she maybe
But for the gentleman (what word ) she is a had been barely 17 but still
She is now a girl,
Many would disagree because her body has been sold u see.
So regards of age she is now.another beauty she is all but a 17yr old has been
RED LIGHT AT NIGHT HURTS ITS NO DELIGHT
