The Color of No Hope

the dispassionate color of no hope
has only walls of empty bedim white 
the statutory color of no hope 
has manifestation of a smudged life 
the offended color of no hope 
has mud stained dimming souls

I have destroyed the rest of the poem 
so that, to say 
that when i am destroyed there will be 
no more words, that I will be able to write...
and you can not have them as 
i can not have just-us
