For Anthony Biaanco's Bone Beach Poetry Contest
Lamenting land of broken hearts left to bleed Mahogany misery loves company on bone beach Seas of skeletons once were hearts on sleeves Littering black sands like sea shells knee deep See here the hand that was severed for theft Stealing for reasons to feed others and self Now a part of bone beaches black sand And in the sinful world is a handless man See here there is a woman without her womb She killed her children during a full moon She blamed it on a black man sealing doom She is destined to a bone beach tomb The hounds of hell will chew and chew On all the bones and skulls for food Never will be full despite what’s consumed For they too are damned with hunger so huge Bone beach is where elephants go to die Bodies bloat souls fly high But for those who have blackness inside Outcast to black sands hell hounds eat you alive
