"pimps" poems
There is an image Working to free my mind From violent dawns It probes at the backs of my eyes It tells me I am prostituting myself Here in my bedroom In incestuous union with myself I hallucinate and fantasise about Doctors sons, butchers boys Teenage thieves, deserters Drug pushers, scandalous rent boys Vagrants, pimps, prostitutes And silk lingerie and don't care. I sit destitute of thought An insonce dissonance of macabre music Playing out melodies of an image in my mind

imagine an underground network of rapists preying on tourist & local girls; having an agreement w/ the pimps & cops [same]; the tourist guides leading the ladies of all types, mostly young, stupid & white - blonde is better; local girls hitting puberty, getting dragged into the den at twelve get a choice, if they live; the dens filled w/ liquor & drugs; partying a little or just jumping her, dragging her to the open floor; she wakes up naked, thankfully not dead, her purse nearby; she goes to meet her new Desi bf at the bazaar where he introduces her to his friends; that night the same thing happens; it happens for a week then a month, then she helps the gang get other girls into it; it goes on all summer, & on into another summer, the winter filled w/ hot springs & expensive dates on the paved side of the street; Bollywood stars in American cars paying her **** who pays her coyote who pays the cop to get her to Europe on a tourist visa to work an exclusive Parisian Brothel

the good rapists [a prostitute's tale]
I feel like a friend-- a true friend, is more than a profile on a website. And peace is more than a handshake agreement brought by the outcome of a gruesome fight. I know that self worth is more than someone's opinion, and in no other dominion but mine own to foster and care for.   And I can see that happiness is more than having money, sure, cause most of us laugh everyday here, and come on, we're dirt poor. And I pray the human soul is more than Casper's counterpart, somewhere between the heart and the pancreas. And God, faith is so much more than cryin' and dyin' over spilt milk between religions. And in case you were confused, "I love you", is more than pet names, bed games, and *** Music is more than pimps, hoes, and MTV Shows, and T-Pain singin through a computer. Believe that life is more than grades and degrees, or drugs and disease, or the 'ABCs' of success that some old man wrote a thousand years ago. This poem has to be more than words strewn together to voice my discontent at the status-quo.. Hell, the word "more" itself is more than a one-syllable statment that what we lack in the present is just a larger quantity of the **** "we already have", and no! The power of your silent agreement is more than that of my voice alone, so... What is "more"? In many ways, "more" is the friend you never had. More peace in the world would end all the mindless bloodshed. More respect and selfworth would bring beauty back to youth, especially to the women in the world, that sell their unique souls to look like the cover of Cosmo. More faith, that grants serenity in the times of hardship, will be the soothing hand of an Angel on our shoulders as we say, "I love you" to our enemies, martyrs for a better world. More positive music will inspire us, to be the change we want to see in the world, today, instead of, "Waitin' on the World to Change "♫ ♪ ♫♪ So ladies and gentlemen, make a decision: if you want to be critics and vipers, war mongers and hope-snipers, ignore my intention, and live with more division. But, if any of you are artists starving for meaning and inspiration, if you envision a world of more than... THIS... Then let a word change a feeling, change a thought, change a meaning, change your mind... And get more out of life.

a dark place, dingy and cobwebbed: the forlorn basement below an unfinished house; there is no hope of an HGTV house-flip or a makeover or the sort of boring/heartwarming story where some nice white family —or conveniently diverse— sets up shop, smash-cuts through a renovation and gets their dream home. no, the house will remain gloomy, this basement filled with emptiness; no one desires to come through the door, no one except the tweakers and the vagabonds and the runaways, the ****** and the pimps, the celebrities and psychiatrists, the demons and the ghosts, the preachers and their seething congregations of judgmental ****** that live across the street, and the ***** teenagers hunting for a place to try out *** no cleaning crew or maid service or organize-your-life guru or even the most experienced of all the world’s janitors could enter this house and clean it or beautify this basement or disenfranchise the squatters within; the neighbors just try and demolish it every chance they get, to rid their sparkling, spotless community of this disgusting eyesore.

BLACKSHEEP I belong to the thieves the dealers and the pimps no matter what they didn't or did, I belong to the single young mothers of militant brothers who struggle to feed there kids, I belong to the assignation of my parents with one suspect to blame, He walks with the devil his name is ******* So much time has past feeling so wronged greeted with fake smiles and hugs made me feel I belonged,

BLACKSHEEP
a penny is a penny and i am a monk hawking birth control pills without any shame or pride disguised in flamboyant tinfoil. i am an extra sensitive *** on my daily street corner turning into a crumb of hunger staring down a long alleyway and eating the flowers that grew up in concrete. there are shadows of jugglers on the wall jumping into the sun, and i am a burning lampshade. henry miller is in a wheelchair now and i am a walrus with a backache being forced among the proverb writers, but i'm no prophet because i've seen the bubbling fire and the swords on the doorway. i am a lover with a guilty conscience and i have too much on my mind. i stole the bread from the riot squad and i blow out these words from a keyhole, pounding my fist on a book while the mystics get drunk with skinny ****** i don't go to birthday parties or funerals instead i'd like to do something worthwhile but i am your typical flunky, writing eccentric jokes about rich pimps while my father lies dead on the hill.

there are no limits on speed, no bumps to impede that singular rush of inspiration, that surging wave we ride to euphoric highs defying doubt and disbelief within and throughout these paths least-travelled where rhythmic beats of compulsion thrill the air way beyond the mean, and we glide over ambiguous bell curves dispelling conspicuous myths and null hypotheses with relative ease where iambic warriors and wordsmiths, high on lyrical amphetamines, wage  epic battles of verse and rhyme and the blood of creativity is spilled onto finite scrolls and screens where the thoughts and dreams of poets, peasants and pimps reign eternal ~ P ( Pablo) (8/2/2013)

Poets, Peasants & Pimps....
The river runs dry Choking on earthly pleasures A flower grows out of light ---- Broken girl smiles The sun reflects her shale tears Bittersweet façade ---- ******* and those hoes **** around with Charlie Brown Good grief, hard for pimps ---- Never to return A dreamer's hope slightly worn Decaying leaves burn ---- Waiting for the sleep Eyes wider than horizons Hazy with longing

she was a single mother, mother of three, children had no father figure all of them had to grow up trying to figure out what father means to them. she was tired of men whistling and tripping over her big behind. see, she held on her hands a university degree seems her life was stuck on day volunteering and night waitressing. all she ever wanted was a man who would sweep her off her feet and be a leader to her kids. no luck, all she ever met were ********** pimps and hustler all who had the intention to bust a nut on her. so the black unicorn sang, mama i need your prayers, mama i need God's hands. pray for me again, again and again. night light's light shines too bright on these electricity bills and the landlord dont even care how she feel. said, "if you laid on this table any time for me, you wont need to worry about the rent, boo" so she did it. every time he touched her, he ripped off parts of her spirit. so the black unicorn sang, in jazz clubs while the kids stayed with grandma. she sang a piece of mind just to get a peace of mind. she was tired of being told she was beautiful because every finger laid on her was a **** you to her beautiful skin, queen. she was tired of "im not ready","its not you, its me". she was tired of wearing her heart on her sleeve. The Black Unicorn still sings.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - NINETY - TOM DALEY
She just walks into a room and causes trouble selling her pride on the side as lil hustle see the worries in her eyes these guys and their lies she doesnt love’em or trust’em telling them lies like its nothin A Diamond, in the rough Smooth skin, acting tough A lost cause, but still worth somethin. But she doesn't know when enough is enough. Caught in her own web of keeping up. Using pins and needles to keep herself up. Tried to walk a straight line, easier being ****** up. Been fighting through a struggle her whole life "Doing what I have to.", read her tattoo on the right her body paying the price addicted to the hustle and the fast life fast cars and flashing lights Nikki Manjing for an extra $200 a night the money feels good She's getting it all right. She’s all in, ryde or dye for life. Her daddy telling her he loves her she believes him and wont leave him cause abusive love; is still love a pimps love is deceiving. Same face full of tears reappear when the drugs disappear she had big dreams, in a small town that are no longer there. An addiction kept her here. Working the track, lost her long hair. From sun up until the bright sky  is no longer there. Drugs kicking in she wishes she wasn't here. Judge calling for her order Warranted, Her lawyer doesn’t even care going through her own trials and tribulations with herself her family isnt even there its apparent that nobody else cares lied too many times crying wolve now everyone and every thing gone-- they ain't there. she sayin this ain’t fair as its time for her to face fear.

Copious amounts of lava seeping over the table steaming mugs of java cutting off the cable. Rara Avis is a Latin term no sneakers for me today eaten by the Conqueror Worm during the month of May. Date **** drugs and Sugar Twin white punk thugs chasing Rin-Tin-Tin. Rainbows of black babies howling out loud guerilla attacks a huge raver crowd. Windshield wipers with ribbons attached little sticky diapers and gates made of thatch. Alphagetti monsters smoking a jay card-carrying punsters greasy burgers on a tray. Cute cotton ******* on lithe little nymphs disappearing shanties owned by drugged-up pimps. Rhymes gone bad a little cash in my pocket hanging at the pad and watching Davy Crockett. People eating doughnuts ***** up on the beaches hips that do the low strut and blood ******* leeches. It all comes down to a single final thought: was the Queen's big crown really traded for a ***

Coffee Shop Thoughts
See it's easy to rap about The ghetto When u don't live in ghetto We got blacks raps Takin us back And got whites makin fun Of our slacks You see it's apart of plan To destroy society Without the use of hands Instead words laid over instrumentals Once the voice is planted It can become influential Or detrimental See thirty eight years ago The ghetto was bout surviving police Brutality and violence And uprising of black unison But it wasn't until ****** crack ******* from our beloved government Entered the scene it became A reality nightmare Far from King 's dream pushed away from teams *** we wanted to be the next dope king Pin enjoyin sin punishing pur women men and children But we're helping the establishment With the destruction of our race We can't even look each other in the face Yet we cry its about race Yes socially mentality and economically But in actuality the hood locality Is where most of the hatred be I see my folks walk around Looking at me Like I'm the reason behind slavery And they mugg me But don't mug the p-o-l-i-c-e Feel me so duck the ghetto The pimps the hoes The dope the jewels the clothes Its nothing but holes In a womb far from being patched up Wake up and let's abrupt And stop letting stereotypes corrupt Our mindset We natural born warriors our existence is fearful Enough towards them So let this marinate to ya temple And stop being so love struck By the **** luxury of the ghetto

The Luxurious Ghetto
Sent his woman a letter in French. In obsession, The Marquis De Sade. As in thy passion thy ***** thou didst wrench. Thy being held high in disregard. Obsessed with the perverse. Creator of ******* slavery cruel. Written his violence as ****** curse. This power crazed man did his harem rule. In ******* and pains. Lashed up in a gimps. Whipping with chains. Wants lots of dosh, wishes of pimps. Modern day tale of the Marquis De Sade. A cruel ******* whose *** was hard.

Pimp's birthday, What to get? Pimps got all I have. Can't get you physical, You have my state of mind, Already locked under key. It's too bad you'll never really know me. I am much deeper than a ***** More to my smile than *** I have a mind, Of clashing thoughts, Never knowing, How to dress. What can I possibly give you, If you already claim to be happy? If you don't need me, Then why do I need you? Pimp's birthday, And I can't decide. What do you want from me? Don't you already know you have my hide...? A gift card should do....

Ivory keys
I only caught a passing moment of their conversation, but the dyed redhead, bowed black face hidden behind her tresses, clearly remarked, I'm part Irish. That's white. while the boy beside her captured her every movement with sarcastic circular motions of his imaginary camera, and something in the taste of the air took me back to the iciness of the cell. Long after the guard clanged the iron door shut, letting the reverberations fade into the silence of small spaces so evident in the 10x6 enclosed room, I heard her. In truth, recollection deceives me in associating my first awareness of her with an impossible remembrance: a womanly scent flowing on a non-existent gust between her cell and mine. But no, it was definitely the distinct, distant quality in her voice as she softly called Who's there? that caused me to press my ear tightly against cold iron in eager anticipation. Hello was all I mustered. She responded in relieved tones with tales of abuse, pimps and prostitution, all mixed with crack bumps measured in metricities that would have made her high school math teacher proud. For hours her voice echoed through the halls of the jail, pausing only for an occasional guttural response Uh-huh or, Uh-uh before continuing her tragic, comforting tale. Eventually day broke and I left the cell-- left the girl locked away, nameless, out of sight. And, I would have forgotten. I would have never searched every face wondering: if I close my eyes and listen, would the voice that still echoes in my head present itself in a stranger's features?

Excerpt from "Too Long Tea"
Socrates was a savage son of a gun Waltzing across town with an urbane gravitas, Trumping the pimps and priests that passed His lazy confidence demanded the reverence oft reserved For kings and queens and prime ministers Without a home, the world was a playground all his own He was always gentle, always genial, Because he descried through his one good eye That dregs like me had it rough enough already He was my friend, And then he died, And no one cared but me. While functional American boys were Learning from their fathers, I was learning from that feral cat. Good old Socrates. Good boy, Socrates.
