Darker Shades of Black - POEM of the MONTH!

Darker Shades of Black
 
Questions in the dark
And falling off the cliff
A child caught by chaos
Abandoning the pontiff
 
Handing out balloons
Shepherds lose their sheep
A child asks for hope
Collapsed into the deep
 
Donning the devil’s shoes
All the rocks cry out
A child stepped upon
Bleeding with a shout
 
Mars in the morning
I swallowed the sunrise
A child opens a vanity
And they dehumanize
 
Nothing left to write
Lost between the lines
A child without a page
Until everyone resigns
 
There’s a clock on the wall
And nothing left to imagine
A child is not recycled dust
But desperate for adoption
 
Surfing on an atomic bomb
What’s written on our plaque
Shadowlands into twilight
With darker shades of black
 
Until…
