Dark poetry has a place. In this one younger generations may learn that what happened, "back then,' was not a movie.

1931 - Hard Times

She was pretty and hungry
A cheap piece of woman
She was paid so he watched
Her get naked for him
She let him do everything
And helped him do it
She let him ride her
Hips rising and falling
She acted like she enjoyed it
Bouncing him around sweating
Until she heard him groan
To finish inside her
Clothes on he leaves wordless
A shamed and sobbing mother


F William Broome 2008

Bill, a hard, but truthful picture of life 'back then' It also points up in all our lives we have a piece of 'history'

Cheers, and it's about 70d on the Oregon coast.

Sometimes we are driven to do whatever is necessary for the sake of family, when times get tough...

Be always safe,

Bill, a great metaphor for the pain and hopelessness
of the personal side of hard times. Hell, is there any
other side? -gene.

Certainly packs a message that is just as strong today as it was in 1931. Captures reality of prostitution in a poetic snapshot.

That must have been a bad time though I never heard any complaints from my dad as he was around 11 years old in 1931...yes, dark, but informative in its own way...Ed & Rufuz
