The whore bath and a great WW1 song.


The whore bath
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
" Sometime we must think and make wise decisions. "

The whore bath..
 
 Large shining teeth.
Telling me the way to heaven.
 
 I will find my way to paradise by the gift to his Christian cause.
 His teeth seem to shine brighter.
 
His mumbling of a thousand words.
Leave me feeling dirty.
 
I get a damp cloth and wipe away the words of a greedy man.
 
 
 The captain tells me.
” I own you. “
 
“You do what I say.
Even  to death.
I’m in-charge.”
 
 I try to wander away.
 But he keeps speaking.
 
I feel dirty and go to the latrine.
I get a damp cloth.
 
Another whore bath in a life where the words are eating away at my soul.
 
 I sit in a classroom.
 The instructor asked me?
 
If I was ordered to kill.
Would I?
 
I tell him I would kill him first.
But my words become weaker with each second the instructor speaks.
 
 He shower me with his blood song and I began to understand.
 
The sweat pours down my face and I go to the bathroom.
 
One more whore bath for a man drowning in useless words.
Forced to accept for a few pennies.
 
Beliefs only a mercenary could believe.
 
  Maybe if I was a high paid whore.
 
 I could live with the things I must do.
 
 But nothing as bad as a cheap whore.
