White and Black Patches
White And Black Patches
His patches on his skin
tell a tale of life's big sin
he is white
on most
and he is black
on some
does he unknowingly boast
of the good and the glum?
does he tell in many words but none?
that the white is what life does shone?
the great times ahead
does he tell in many words but none?
that the black is what life depicts as wrong?
the darkness ahead
do the colors that he wears
tell of lifes greatness?
but also lifes despairs?
good and bad is written
on a soul that does not tell
until on a silent day
when the message fell.
