She was barely able to speak English
If at all
But willing to do anything
Without a single exception
To escape her country
Having even a hint of a chance
To finally become an adult
Make money to send home
Get a green card
See if the United States
Is as great
As the rumors have always
Made it appear to be
She would not need language anyway
Just the sounds that everyone makes
Once the contract is signed
It takes only days
For her to realize the obligation
She has lawfully agreed to
Could shatter her self worth
While they take pictures
And make movies
Of acts she once considered to be private
Distributing them over the Internet
In such a way
That a small job to help her family
Becomes a career of sex, prostitution and pornography
The leaps and bounds she made forward
Were actually in reverse
And no family would ever welcome her again
