Black Born by april4mee(m): 8:09pm On Nov 03, 2017 |
Here is my latest work writing just this evening for poetry soup. Please feel free to do the critique. BLACK BORN When next you think of BLACK! Think of coal, think of massive power plants. Who will give a "NO" to a flashy hour glass. Think of the ace of spades, it's the highest in the deck of playing cards The face of Blades The type that be cutting hard. Think of the dark night.. The precidence of a beautiful dawn.. Think of its might. The bright of a powerful town Think of a skillet, for once, the fry of a tastefull source.. The messenger of a longing rouse and.. The blessing of an empty pouch Think of a Black box, Think of its saving grace. The epochs, the beginning of many races. Whenever you think a Black market stinks, consider its reach And not the rich. When I think of the black eye, the type carried by "black I" It Makes me cry and... I can't but wonder why? We sweep the award Plaques We blaze the tracks Always ahead of the pack A very Hard nut to crack We tough to the bone Forget the tone We are Boneblack And glad to be born black
