Killer Deal...
Smiling lips pasted on his face
he knocks upon the door
While he waits, he begins to pace
in the stinking corridor
Finally, the dirty portal cracks
a suspicious man appears
Behind him, girls on their backs
their faces full of fear
The room is dim and foul of air
some money changes hands
The large man asks; How much the pair?
The other grins and understands
Big man; You've got an appetite
For a thousand, have the two
They're young and tender, be just right
I'm sure they'll satisfy you
"Girls, get dressed, you're leaving now",
Pimp yells; "You can't do that!"
Killer gives the girls a little bow
and slaps the pimp's nose flat
Ladies, you don't need to see
what's gonna happen next
So catch yourselves a little breeze
while I break his stupid neck
The door has closed on two grateful smiles
There is silence for a space
Pimp, you're evil and you're vile
a blight, and a disgrace
Smell of piss and fear in the air
muffled screams and moans abound
Blood on the floor; shit, it's everywhere!
as the bones of this sinner ground
T.V. as his clothes wash clean
Killer laughs at the comedy-show
He thinks about how fun it's been
It's Hell, where all pimps go!
About This Poem
Last Few Words: Two twelve year old girls are missing; they were last seen at a local motel. I think this is what Killer would do if he found them. The girls were found, they caught a bus, but were identified and picked up and brought home.

Dear Sir Gee,
It is a shame about the missing girls. I hope they are found in good health and returned to their loved ones. I see Killer is in good form!
The scent of piss and fear were mingled in the air
Muffled screams and moans did abound
There was blood on the floor; Shit, it's everywhere!
As the bones of this sinner were finely ground
always, Cat

Thanks Cat...
Everyone is hoping that they will be found in good health, and that they have just run away. Yes, Killer is in good form. He won't stand for innocent children being hurt or abused in any way, and this is what will happen to anyone that does it! Those are some of my favorite lines too! ~ Gee

Scarey and well written, but needs a couple of tweaks, Stanza one last line I think something like 'pungent corridor,' would sound better than 'smelly corridor. Stanza three is a little bit loose needs tghtening, it lacks some of the rhym of the reast of the piece.
But I enjoyed it.

Thanks Grasshopper...
I will work on that. You are right, it does need a little tightening up. Feeling better, now maybe I can get some work done! Love ya, Yoda

Fuckin oath! Death to all pimps!
Say it like is should be, brother.
My only crit is the last two lines.
They could be much stronger.
just a suggestion-
He know his evil now
It's time for him to go.
