Who Is to blame?



One more innocent was kidnapped  today
Who went out to study, work or play
Will be now put into human smuggling
By a heartless trafficker, into trafficking

We live in a world where
Exploitation is rife and youth is sold
Morals and honesty
Have become ages old

Innocents are daily deceived into
Claws of bonded labour
By sex rackets and traffickers
Whose population is major

It is not only the greed of money
But lust, illiteracy and poverty
That costs a human's life and liberty

The criminal is not only the trafficker
But also those who demand
And desire informal kidney liver and gland

The government's silence and political neglection
Are a major reason for the victims' auction

Shopkeepers, neighbours and familiar people were involved
Who sold the victim's details and soul
For a mere sum  of money
That caused the sufferer great agony

Another life will be destroyed,
'other will be kidnapped from a lane
If we do not question the system
"How to stop this"and "Who is to blame?"
