The Black and Blue Blues

THE BLACK AND BLUE BLUES There was blood on the street On his shirt And on his shoes Yet it never made the news Just another person Just another tale Just another sister with a sorry story for sale A beauty bound to lose Yet it never made the news There had been thousands of tears Throughout the years And nights of varied and sundry fears Her face was painted with blacks and blues Yet it never made the news She’d been to the cops to tell her story “listen lady, no guts no glory” To them it was too ordinary so they’d refuse I’d pick up a newspaper to peruse And still her story never made the fu**ing news When the law finally caught the case They understood the condition of her face Needed not was D.N.A.for the culprit was known After he beat, bludgeoned and broke every bone This was a couple who should had never become a pair She with morals and he with his nose in the air Because she was his dynamite and he was the fuse And she died yet it never made the fu**ing news © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
