Selling of body


by Victor P. Gendrano

SOMEWHERE IN THE US

she sells her eggs
to childless couples
for tuition fees

SOMEWHERE IN ASIA:

she sells her body
to drunken sailors
for family food

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE:

parents sell their kids
to the highest bidder
for adoption

SOMEWHERE IN AFRICA:

he sells his kidney
to a rich sick man
for business start

IN THE US AGAIN:

in the Internet
he bids for model's egg
for future child
