I Was Blog Surfing Last Night And I Happened Upon A Page By A Brotha Named Wood. And As I Perused His Page, I Came Across A Blog Entitled "Whore!" Now Many Of You Know, I Have Not Posted A Poetry Piece In A While, For Many Reasons, One Being, A Lack Of Inspiration... But This Brotha's Flow Was So Fluid And REAL, That It Made MADE Me Write Right There On The Spot... I Mean It Touched Me Pretty Deep! I Just Had To Share What It Evoked From Me With You Guys, My 360 Fam, Because We Have All Been "Whores" Of Some Type, One Time Or Another In Our Lives. And If You Haven't, Keep On Living...

Would'ya Like Ta Hear It?? Well Here It Goes...

I Was A Whore

Who Yearned

Ached

Longed For More

Fucked And Sucked

Till My Pussy

And Mouth

Were Both Sore

And There's The Door...

Out I Went

Feeling Spent

From The Soul Pains

The Gaping Hole In My Heart

Is Hoping That This Money I Just Made

Will Be The Beginning Of A Brand New Start

For Me...

I Didn't See, That It Was A Downward Spiral

That Ultimately

Ended

With Me

Infected

By Viral

Infections

Full,

So

Full

Of Spiritual Rejection

With Nothing To Showforth In My Life

But

Penile Injections

Erection

After Long, Hard Erection

I Allowed To Penetrate

My Being,

My Soul...

The Whole Story Will NEVER Be Told

Not Even When I Grow Old

IF I Live

To Grow Old...

To Behold

The Fruit Of My Works

While

Standing On The Street Corner

Tryna Twork…

The Fruit Of My Loins

From Prostituting My Groin

Blocking Out All This Cerebral Truama

From Another Episode

Of Of Pussy Bill Drama

Gimme Is What Got Ya Here,

And I Ain't Talking 'Bout'cha Mama

If You Want A Dime Of This Dro

Or A Hit

Of This Blow,

Then..

"Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya!" Is What They Said

While The Thought Of Procuring The Next Dollar

Is All That Floated

Through

My EmpyHead

"Can I Get A 'Lil Face For Free?"

Is

What They Asked

Not Knowing

Caring

That I Was Mentally,

Spiritually

Bound

All That Peeked Their Curious

Perverted Minds

Was "For How Long You Gonna Go Down?"

But My Essence

Was

Screaming And Begging To Be Free

To No Longer Permit These Demons

Of Lust And Whoredom Take Control Of Me

So Until My Savior Came

And Gave Me Release

I Was At The Mercy

The Whims

Of My Lust

The BEAST...

Until That Time,

I Was A Slave,

A Whore

Waiting To Turn My Next Trick

My Fate Sealed

As Another Part Of My Soul

Walked

Out Of My Heart's Door

While My Body Unwantingly Welcomed The Next Dick…

You are creative, energetic, and an extremely powerful force.

An outdoors person, you like animals and relate to them better than people.

You tend to have an explosive personality, but also a good sense of humor.

People sometimes see you as arrogant or a know it all.

You tend to be a bit of a loner, though you hate to be alone.
