Trafficking

This is written based on Living Poetry prompt – Containers

They are fishmen of a busy port
Generations of wealth
decorates their family
ties with the mafia through marriages

Monopoly of the fishing boats
the wholesale market
and the local businesses
They are in every corner
of this fishing town

Containers of seafoods
mixing with
containers of children,
firearms and drugs

Their family legacy
in this town
is built on
the historical corruption
and lawlessness

  7. The surface of things never fully shows us the underbelly of things. This is a seamless description of the dichotomy of life. The good/the bad – both existing, side-by-side – always. Well-written, Carrie.
