Poetry
seen it all
By maipenrai

I have seen it all
beggers and thieves
pimps and lowlife skunks,
holy priests
forgiving
the drunk in the gutter
then back to the rectory
for another little boy.

rich man in his limo
perverted in his cesspit mind,
poorman with his rickshaw
what a heavy load he pulls,
black or white
or the same to him
no respect
treat him like a slave.

like this, i can make out the passion in your tone; 
the words seem to throw punches.
I do

appreciate the scorn in this, but isn't a male prostitute a flat chested whore?

Thanks for your comments, I am thinking of changing some of this, esp last 3 lines.

I liked parts of this - first verse, most of the second. The LOUD part threw me. Had me thinking, why? And then the end. I may be missing something, but it's like a cheap joke. For me it doesn't fit with the rest. 
 
Could be me missing something. 
 
Phil.
Thanks
