I am very glad I am finally able to say that. That was my mother. She would supplement her income in a minute. Turn a trick at the drop of a hat. We just weren't allowed to say anything. We didn't share in the fruits of her "labor" either.
There were times some of her lovers made her buy me something. "Something", one "something". Martha was punishing me. I was fourteen, old enough to sell pussy but, I chose not to. For that indiscretion I was being punished. Martha would lavish herself in furs, expensive suits, perfumes and the like and break me off one "thing" very begrudgingly.
Martha did not like me. She more than hated me, she fully intended to exact revenge upon me for being born. She claimed it was because I was too black. It was because I was more attractive, more intelligent, more disciplined, more moral.
Martha knew better than to continue to live the horrible repugnant life she lived. She just did not want to be wrong and she really wanted to be a whore. She enjoyed the quick money, all the adulation, all the begging men. Martha loved being popular even if it was for the wrong reason She just could not take the criticism, the rebuke.
Martha was Mathy Jane the Great! She could do anything and you swine better bow down. Don't you stand up! Stand up and get knocked down! If it meant going to hell and taking the entire world with her Martha was meant to do so and did.
Is is possible for a woman to "over whore"? Yes. Is it possible for one person to be too cruel? Yes Too jealous? Yes. Too intractable? Too full of pride and ignorance? Is it possible for anyone to be beyond salvation?
Will we all reap? Yes!
Praise the LORD!
