Black Monday

Maybe not today or tomorrow, but one day! 
The rain will wash my melanin away, black Monday
 
All we inherit is mortgages & curses
Cheap labor has become my purpose
Not today, because I woke up feeling rather hopeless
Does the lord care,my prayers seem so worthless 

Life in the village , life in the wilderness 
Not the same words some say, but today 
has been an awful black Monday!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
