Should We Legalise Prostitution?

 

They're trying to legalise prostitution

Politicians, (as usual), lead the way

Not listening to experience elsewhere

Not wanting to see light of day

 

You ask, politicians? What's new Don?

I counter, they're top of their game

Educated and all for the people

Looking after us, not out for fame

 

In New Zealand, the city of Christchurch

Legalised it two thousand and one

But the concept has not worked out well there

Sex working's safe only for some

 

The pimps and the prostitutes they pick up

Baseball bats, take to the street

To fight for best positions to take up

On street with their clients to meet

 

The residents they're not very happy

As in their front gardens they find

Condoms and faeces next morning

If I lived there I'd also mind

 

So should we legalise prostitution?

Protect our sex workers under law?

Or will it just give us more problems?

Be good? Or just carry more flaws?

 

What happens in UK, your America?

I'm isolated 10,000 miles away

But am curious to know what goes on there

And to what your politicians do say
