Another pointless day
On the pavement, in the heat.
Only 3 people stopped
Hated aching feet.
Out here every day
With my clipboard and green shirt.
Ask strangers for donations to
Help rebuild our Earth.
Beg and plead and pester
Sometimes I even sing,
But for no response
Apathy is an extraordinary thing.
One week rendered only 50 bucks
So I started to branch out.
Because our dying planet needs the help
That only cash can bring about.
This day game wasn’t working
So I turned to night.
Swap the shirt for a skirt
And turn on my red light.
Earn more in a night hour
Than in a week of days
Call me any name you want
*** sells but also pays.
****** ***** and **********
Harlot, Jezebel.
Heard them all, but don’t care
Tonight I will sleep well.
The blindness of the masses
Environment burns unseen.
So I sell myself and save the trees
It’s not easy being green.
