Bitches and Ho’s
Ramon Pinero 9/18/2004

And what color was
her mind? or is
it that you did
not notice
too busy trying
to bed her
You forgot that she
a complete
individual.
not just tits and
ass
legs and whatever.

Did notice what
size her
brain is;
not that you care,
after all she’s
just one of them
bitches and ho’s
you hear so much
about.

Did you ask
about her
dreams
her nightmares
her
fears.

Oh yea,
I forgot,
she’s just one of
them bitches
and ho’s
you hear so much
about.

Bitches and ho’s
don’t have
dreams or
nightmares
they have no
depth.
Two dimensional
creatures in a
three dimensional
world.

Why would
you care
?
After all
she’s just one
of them
bitches and ho’s.

and as all
bitches and
ho’s
they all seem
to look alike
dress alike
Hell,
some of them
even sound
alike.

Is that one of them
over there?
Don’t get pushed
out of shape,
I didn’t know
that was your
mama.

how ‘bout that
one over
there?

Dang, pissed you off
again;
How was
I supposed
to know
that was
your sister?


Now, there go
some of them
Bitches and ho’s
Whoa!..
wait up
How was I
to know
that was your daughter
and her friends?

Have you seen
the size
of her pain?
The pain
she carries
everyday;
that pain of
child birth,
only to watch
her baby girl
turning tricks
for that rock;
cleaning houses
washing other
peoples’ dirty
shit;

Then hurry
home
to cook
before that
asshole
bitch slaps
her to
death.

Do you even
care?
Oh that’s right

All they are
besides being
mothers
and
daughters
and
aunts
and
grandmothers
and
sisters
and
cousins
and
nieces,

Is
bitches and ho’s.
