Black. Stop. Poem by D Loveday Morris

Black. Stop.

Rating: 5.0


Black. Stop.

Black rain
Black pain
Black is strain
Black is the blood running through my vein

Black gold
Black fold
Black is sold
Black is the story untold

Black breath
Black threats
Black is death
Black is my broken neck

Black stage
Black engage
Black is rage
Back is the ink on my page


Black tax
Black waxed
Black is trapped
Black lives matter. Stop.
