Black and White
I thought black and white
Is the history of gunpowder
Exhausted along border points
To restore fragile peace
To ease unilateral justice
And the rule of lore
They say black and white
Is justice meted legally out
By oppressor to the hapless
Vanquished in hot pursuit
Of a beautifully loathed
Sensual normalcy.
Some think black and white
Is the lecture of a dimly lit Europe
To desperate continent in the dark
To nay set ablaze their houses
So as to keep away crafted darkness
Of black bull mounting female white.
Indeed black and white in reality
Is the presentation of coveted peace prize
To the makers of atomic bombs dropped
To decimate populated rural countrysides
Just to terminate disastrous nuclear
War fought on political fronts.
