"The Forest of Sex Work"
In the forest of sex work, where the trees sway
some see a path of shame, while others see a way
to make a living, to earn their keep
society's judgment makes it hard to sleep
The forest is dense, with many paths to take
Some are escorts, while others are dancers to make
but no matter the path, they're all just trees
All trying to survive in this forest, with different degrees
Critics say it's a "red light district," with "prostitutes" on the street
But it's not as simple as that, it's not that neat
Society's judgment is like a storm that brews
It's hard for them to see the forest for the trees, their views
They say it's morally wrong, but who are they to decide
Just like strip mining, it's legal, and it's their right to provide
they say it's exploitative, with "they" taking advantage
not all clients are the same, there are "respectful" and "disrespectful" in this advantage
They say it leads to crime, but that's not always true
Countries that have legalized it, have seen a decrease in crime too
let's work towards a society where they're not stigmatized
Where sex work is seen as work, and not criticized.
