Black And Blue Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

my arms, my back are all tattoo
of stunning colors of black and blue
my lips are roses all the way down to my finger tips
my grown is laced in black and so is my hood
that covers my face
my smile is dark because my eyes
are covers in darken sun glasses
when one man fist made it through me
when i wouldn't let him used me
and my walk has a limp
when throw down a staircase
when i wouldn't go out and pimp
now my body is sore my dreams are torn
from the first day i was born
when my mother ran off on her own course
leaving me with just my brother and i
feeling lost in this cruel world
