White To Black Poem by Buddy Bee Anthony

Daylight to sundown
lights go on
lights turn out
Neon slips to shadow
this is not my town
Thoughts of mine
turn inside out
as everything fades
white to black
black to white
Newsman's dashin'
stocks are crashin'
words spill
on and off the print
Flashbulbs flashin'
all the fashion
but nobody seems
to take the hint
It's they and their lives
as everything fades
white to black
black to white
It's all so retro
a blast in from the past
Us against them
right and wrong
too easily assessed.
It's mighty mighty grim
when all I see is a bright red hot rim
Can't you see that bright red hot rim
Yet, all they see is
white to black
black to white
Then it begins again
In the starlight
white to black
black to white
When will it end
There must be more shades of truth to blend than
white to black
black to white
Daylight to sundown
lights turn on
lights go out
