Po'Black

Folder: 
Blackness

As black as they can be

they sit and stare at me

Are they jealous?

Jealous of us

because we have a home to go to

and they must scrap for food

maybe its because we live so bold

and they must live in the cold

they are always stealing

from the fields

and they always hangout in the

cities we build

As black as they can be

I wonder if the crow wishes he was me

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is the first poem I wrote. I was 18-19 years old at the time.

The imagery is tight on this one.
The poem works on several layers.
Keep the faith.
