The Fallen Woman

They call her a hooker
  call her a whore
  they say she sells her body,
  and can't have a soul.
 
  One day I saw “her”
  just around the corner
 People who passed by
 Sneered;
 Some even pawed her
 The cop harassed her
 She just thought of her mother
 And waited.
 
  God help me she prayed
  tonight I need
  a kind customer.
 
  Then a guy on a scooter
  stopped beside her
  he had time for a quickee
  and didn't mind the fee
  forgot all about his wife
  and told himself   that
  Variety was
  the spice of life!
 
 With his lust he
fell,   thrusting into her
 when it was over
  he gave her a tenner.
 
  She pocketed the money
  and set off  in a hurry
  bought medicines for mother
  ignoring her own hunger.
 
  They call her fallen woman,
  but here I beg your pardon
  am not sure who FELL ?
  .. the woman
  who did it for her mother's life ?
  or   ..the man
  who thoughtlessly betrayed his wife?
