One of the Paris Bordello workers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Young soldiers facing death worried not about sin when heading into battle, many of whom never had being in a relationship, and were doomed to a prostitutes embrace to be the only experience of female love they would enjoy before their imminent deaths.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those who had not lived and loved
\nWho would never get to, huddled
\nIn the Paris rain, in queue<\/p>\n

The Bordello madam smiled
\nBusiness boomed: city burns
\nSins consequences forgot.<\/p>\n

Young men learned it was not much
\nWith wages they never spend
\nThey paid, there’s no point saving.<\/p>\n

Enough left for their mothers
\nWho would cry, pray for their souls
\nWho’d know nothing of tonight.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, each give their body
\nFor the gratification of generals
\nIn the whorehouse of the battlefield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
