Prostitution

You don't have to love me, or like me
But you damn well better respect me.
I don't care who you are
how much you make
your model of car.
You are not better than me.
You will never be better than me.
How I make my money is none of your concern
After all, how much of your money have I earned?
I don't lie about what I do
What do you tell your wife when she asks you where you've been?
Why is my profession considered a sin
when the head of your church calls me in!?
Don't think you're better than me
it will never be true.
I've never been ashamed of what I do
Never Ashamed, How 'bout you?

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

There is a brutal honesty in this piece. I love the irony in it.
Something about this prostitute makes me want to trust her.
She speaks her mind and you don't feel like you have to worry
about who she would turn into when she shows you her "Real"
colors. Yes her dirty laundry is out in the open, but there are
sinister motives that allow her to be there. This poem really strikes
the issue of hypocrisy in our society. There are many things you
did very well in this poem, but I feel your biggest accomplishment
is putting a spotlight on a political/social issue with such ferocity
and at the same time...not shoving it down our throat. I read it and
I enjoyed it. I didn't feel at all like I was being force fed your opinions.

[Coyote Poetry]

Few innocence people in this world. I like the questions and statements in the poem. A perfect ending to a outstanding poem.

[I Am Svetlana]

This was good and filled with emotion. Don't let people degrade you or think themselves better because of how you make money. You're right, it's none of their concern
