Grandpa&Grandmom
they call me a half-caste
yet i'm a whole human being
my grandpa was a black slave
my grandmom a white writer
they came together
they stayed together
unwavering love
till they died:
first grandmom who was suffering from
a writer's block
ridiculously white paper she
couldn't cope...
after she had passed away
half an hour later grandpa
took his last breath pressing
his face
against her
stiff face
after a long and full life they
joined their ancestors in death
i was thirty-seven at this
time and their only heir
i received a letter containing their
will
a black sheet
one sentence white ink
and by the handwriting i could tell
they had written the will with
two hands and one pen
what do you think the sentence was
about?
this is a gueesing game and here's a hint: the sentence included the name "tizzop"
suggestions are welcome - simply write a comment...
