Dark hair framing a seemingly innocent face

Perfectly curved body dancing on the stage

Pouty lips spread in a beguiling smile

Satin-smooth skin a creamy white

Displayed for the Vultures to feast their eyes

Clothes at her feet, wads of cash around her thigh.

Sitting on my high pedestal of Morality

I shudder with Holier-Than-Thou pity

The lowest a woman could ever be

But she sells her body for money, at least

I do the same for fake promises and hollow feelings

She is far better than me.
