A Dark Accounting
Sexual Trafficking in Los Angeles

The numbers flow like Blood:
Convicting my inaction —
In our city,
In our Home:
10,000 kids a day,
70,000 a week,
300,000 a month,
3,650,000 a year…
Each one:
Raped 1–20 times a day,
Abused
. …by those who believe
. …….their needs outweigh
. ………..the child’s right to live…
One child:
A mother’s love,
Sold and humiliated:
Taught she is an Owned Thing:
Not a creature loved & cherished —
Millions of dollars,
Flowing to dark places,
Corrupting
…..the fabric of our freedom:
Hearts abusing power,
Crushing lives away…
I saw the numbers:
They pierced my Heart,
They broke down my walls,
Who will look with me?
Who will hear their calls?
Who will say, “#NoMore!?”
