I'm so glad I never had to hook. I was on the bus last week and the ride took me through the old neighborhood, and I saw a girl I grew up with working one of the corners. Now, this was by no means my first time seeing and old friend living the lifestyle now.. 'cause most of them do. I just had better hopes for so many of them.

It's rape. These "Johns" should be charged w/ rape b/c that is what it is. Rape by poverty. No $, baby needs food, daddy is in jail.. It's all so fucking cliche. That is what I hated about Galloway. It was all a bad mid 90's rap video. Poverty is so ugly, i will never know why some rich kids think it's cute or trendy. When the rich kids were done playing thug by 16 or 17 they went back to mom, all these guys were stuck in gangs, dads by 17 and jail by 19. Now Candice stands on a corner waiting to suck a cock for a five dollar bill. The recent police crackdowns in the area keep putting more young guys in the area away (galloway boys and malvern crew have been in the news a lot lately..) so more girls are hitting the pavement to make some $. It's just sad to think of what even a few moments of these girls lives are like.

I feel so disconnected from it all now. I feel guilty, white, rich, guilty, and feel shame for them. I wish i could fix that entire area. I want to. I want to open an agency in that area. I miss it. i want to fix it, I want to fix all the people I grew up with. I want proper headstones for the dead ones and proper housing for the living ones. I want everyone to be middle class, I want there to be no class, I don't expect a class war, but one would be nice. A bunch of rich white punk kids wearing "Fuck the class system" shirts won't change it. I just wish i knew what would, outside of a militant revoloution..
