white and black is... by `YouInventedMe:iconYouInventedMe:



you wanna be
the sort of
ancestor
to make your
new blood
sing special

you want eyes
oversized
like gas masks
and the smoke
that makes
tanks come

you want their
ears
nailed
to the wall

you're the
type of voice
god
whispers to
in secret

you're a billion
hands clapping
no better
for the
sound

you're an
independent
province where
the mountains
eat themselves

a crude sketch
and a
pardon

a part of me
that must be
shelved

To me, it was cold and alluded to waste. I really do adore your imagery. ^-^

We make for your sake such things as stand fast,
Through the ages these pages forever will last.
On blank paper the printer sets down what is heard,
Giving life to what's rife with the power of the word. -Michael Kongehl

I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
