Why Do You Come Here?

Why do you come here? To stroke the ego of a man who is far past his glory days? This girl, bruised and battered as she lay. She really is beautiful but she's blind to seeing it... "They" won't let her. Bright green eyes on a pale face, hidden behind the darkness of hair... hidden to all by playing the card of love... Dance for "them". DANCE! This is no place for you, mon petit cherie. Amongst the desired cries for the virgin...being stolen. Makes the souls of your audience believe that you are only performing for "them"...alone. Selfish, unknowing fools... "They" pay the money for your humiliation and drop it at your feet. Hope you enjoy the show.

great! and the last line ...Oh! What an incredibly well done portrait of a woman (women) who know no other way and what a wake-up call to those who did 'come here'!
