Pimp
All the charisma of a star
He just never traveled far
He still rules the avenue
Leashing whores of every hue
He is clearly on the move
So many traps, so much to prove
Psycho johns and killer cops
The city heat that never stops
He has his pick of several whores
The working girls that he adores
But he's immune to what they say
Just so long as they obey
The idea is to make a buck
Exotics or a simple fuck
He speaks of love to those who earn
Turns on losers with eyes that burn
He claims it's a living, kind of fun
A sound thrashing for the whores that run
As long as profit is the drive
They might just make it out alive.

Re: Re. Pimp
Thank you for the kind comment and RL entry, Lady Crim. I was hoping this is a reasonably accurate portrait of one of these guys. I haven't ever actually met a pimp, but I have heard stories...
Love, Crow

You wrote a whore's noir , here , CrowFly...
Just a slice of dark city life ;
Flash man sporting fur in the concrete jungle ;
King lion with his pride ;
Cats on the prowl...;)

Thank you, poetOftragedy. I try to be as accurate as possible. Sometimes I get it right. Not always, but sometimes.

Pic might be captioned: 'The ugly face of prostitution' if not 'The unacceptable face of capitalism'.

If you are not British, the latter phrase was a quote of then Prime Minister Ted Heath about news that a Tory ex minister was getting his salary as a British company's chairman paid via a tax free account in the Cayman Islands. (It was commented it said as much about Heath as about capitalism.)
