💗 “love on the black market” 💗
➛
twenty 10
and until no end
put the pure
on the market
black!!!
➛
for rare to be seen
in the light
few even believing
I mean, with actions done
for eyes to the soul
to be seeing
and the elated one sung
➛
it’s not for sale
not this Love
but gone underground
it’s seen too much blood
➛
spills pooled
from puddles to lakes filled
when streamed from innocence
because none dared to heed cries
while tears of disbelief
drowned tries
➛
then comes the whys
how did this happen
so says the passers bys
barely did they open their eyes
until too, …they flooded
tears to the place of humanity
➛
too late
for too many, yes
now exposed
following our best
today’s society
choosing to follow
the recondite
➛
with open minds
that love be ascertained
No longer strained
by difficulties to understand
that which for decades
was lost in the sand
the pure piled in the dirt
➛
the reality
mixed up in the flirt
short skirts
& tight shirts
after burning
Love’s true desserts
➛
honesty
caring
Nurturing
& daring
to say so
➛
about wrong or gold
when if no speech
who suffers a blow
burnt to death row
➛
so shop for real
U must
and if U are
unable to find
that which will
prevent all
from being blind
➛
U will find
➛ 💗
Love
on the black Market

➛ if U wish, now U can listen to how it sounds with the Marine orating it at a failed cadence to eloquence but none the less – give it a listen ➛
