Black and White

The colors black and white What you get when your devoid of intrinsic sight Day vs. night Evil vs. right Shadow vs. bright Skin color amidst a racial fight In art however, a Highlight Mix them up to shades of gray you may find an authors book a thunderstorms energy that's off the hook all depends how hard you look A midnight sky lit up with shinning stars fireflies glowing against blackened night that children place in empty mayonnaise jars Like chalk and charcoal both have a purpose, a beauty In humans, a passionate soul and a God given duty All bleed red, It's scrolled or so I've been told word count 110 02/15/2017
