Black And Blue Poem by Kevin Maroney

He saw me
Across the way
Asks me a favor
Arrogantly with progue
Strikes me with his whip
of words ever so diluted do I tell him
My answer?
Strike him with an iron push
or Do what he asks?
Indulge in his fantasy world
Everything's alright?
Everything's going his way
or Dissolve him from that false light,
Which will strike him in turn
Ever so much more hard
Than I.
Absolve him of the risk,
Or hurt him more by giving in?

Let him see the world
Through disillusioned Eyes
Tinted Black and Blue.
