I want all things to be clear I want them to be black or white but to my dismay all things are grey I need a light to guide me, to show me the way So nothing can pull me astray Sometimes I don’t know where I am Stuck in this thick grey jam Then the light appears And all the grey clears The same thing happens again and again I’m led astray Then shown the way It’s like my life is on replay ~17/3/21

Black and White
Run the race of life at your own pace, if origins defines race then we are all Africans, Life is a journey it takes a minute to by pass an hundred kilometres, Let's not allow our differences ****** the glory inside us, We are all humans, we are one, let's make it a better place for you and I, Killing one another can never resolve the issues on ground Because I'm black doesn't stop me from walking in the midst of whites, Races doesn't really exist for us because it has never been an hinders. Black folks don't have that choice. I'm black I can't own a bank in los Angeles, because the white folks thinks its a barrier to them, If origins define race then the entire human is Africa, We need to encourage one another, nobody is perfect in all that is doing. Hatred paralyzes life, love heals it, hatred confuses life Love harmonize it, returning violence for violence courses violent, It add more darkness to the human race, Let's come together and make peace, God didn't create us to look our differences,he created us to love one another, Let's fight for peace, let's make this world a better place, let's together run this races and win it in peace.

The Races
She wore a long black dress, That showed off some of her dark skin, And a little bit of her ******* Her hair was pulled up the top of her head, And she had on thick reading glasses You would think she was about to take a test, He wore a light blue shirt and dress pants, And wore a golden watch with thick leather  straps, He asked her to sit by the big wide window, So he could look at her under the golden sun, When his hand touched her skin, "Cafe' con leche" she whispered to him, Before today they only existed in each others dreams, Exchanged many letters, Where they talked about many things, Fears, hopes and secret needs, They spoke about Wishes, About lack of kisses they both now seek, She shivered as he touched her lips, His cold white hand lit fire to her dark skin, They wanted more than the wishes and horses,   They wanted hugs and kisses, A fine romance Where they could both feel safe, Wishes and kisses, Dreams and Desires, Beggars wishing to riding horses, Me and him hoping to stop time, Cafe' con leche their fingers marry, Tonight they will live out their dreams!

Café con leche
Death is black, Life is white, No matter wich one you choose, It will allways be Black and White.

Black and White...
The year of HD colours and endless mind- rewiring sessions I blink once, twice hold my breath zone out slip to the nearest galaxy I look again and still you're a Black & White complication thousands miles away from a grey and colour palette situation

Not One Shade of Grey
Behind closed doors, there's something more; deeper than her personal art and healing heart. She's left only to herself. Her head that once was held head, fell and reality shook the room. The roar of laughter echoes and her insides shatter. Flaws are what make us whole. But for her, that's not how the story unfolds. Color leaves her eyes and she's no longer alive deep inside. The photograph that was once painted in color, faded to grey. -c. n.

Faded to Grey
Night's willow, guard me well, Else the candle is out and I'm back again. Little birdie, sing me a song, While you pluck the stars, one by one. Sky's clear, from there to here, Hummingbird's safe in all the worlds we share. Day's wail, there you are again, The birdie's flown, I hope to see it again. Willow's whithered, wax is dun. The song is done, I can't think myself back. The Sun is up, also the moon, A remnant of night, less sung about in daylight. It's real, I think at least, The birdie's somewhere, woken as same.

In a cold dark world no one can think or feel there are no sounds, there are no colors, the days are grey but the world is structured Its a black & white world where things work or they don’t simple and complex In a world so cruel and judgmental so raw and sharp so many colors and sounds a song birds chirp, The yellow rays of sunlight, that we never see because we are in a  pitch black box, and we don’t try to get out, differences and similarities mind and heart, So much is out there, look around at the crisp autumn leaves flames falling to the ground An evergreen oak wise and graceful  branches engraved with thousands of stories that were long forgotten and washed away We live in a bleak, black and white world but we can see so much more can we see the light in shadows the good in evil can we see the color in the pure absence of it Music when there is silence the chaos in nothing Look deeper at the black and white of our world what will you see?

People think the world is only made black and white But if you blur your eyes The only color you start to see, Grey The color they fail to believe

What is the matter Of being Fat Black Gay Nerd Different Or what else? All you can see here, Are just Black and White But you can still see the beauty inside of these group of clauses And I still can see, I will always can see your inner beauty From those words you wrote

Beautiful
the bright sun shines and smiles and the music of the wind make dance the fallen leaves, but my sombre heart sees naught but malevolent heat and swaying puppets on strings of wind.
