Occupation by Eliza Griswold Poem Analysis

Do prostitutes represent American society, culture, and way of life? Who are the prostitutes it talks about, because back in the day, prostitutes were not known for the same things as they are today.  Kabul sounds like a type of Turkish or Muslim town which is where burkas originated.  Burkas could symbolize secrecy, modesty, and culture of Muslim society.  Bread and 15 cents was the same in such a poverty filled town in the middle east.  "taking a man to bed" is the proper way of stating a sexual relationship in American society.  On the 4th line, it says "their husbands dead" which may represent how greedy and foolish and selfish Americans are especially having starving children and a dead husband.  The author could be trying to show how filthy Americans are and how disrespectful they are to one another.  IN the fifth line, the word "occupation" could refer to the American way of prostitution.  In this sense, prostitution could symbolize all things evil in American society and how this evil is being carried over seas to disrupture the Muslim culture of peace, serenity, and modesty.  it shows the poverty and desperation within the town and how life needs to be sacrificed for.  Line 7 was the most arguable because it uses repetition from line 9, and shows how tin symbolizes a cheap metal that is reusable and wasteful.  Line 8 doesnst make any sense except for the fact that man would go for the younger boys, leaving the girls alone.  This exntire line represents the Muslim calm serenading lifestyle and shows how girls were worth much more before the idea of prostitution was introduced to their culture.
