Black And White

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Black and white is less than one dimension
That with chains and chances
Of more to come and less to see
Gives us another draw
Of child-like wrong conclusions

Carving words once into flesh
'til now with blood we write
Through distant times an epitaph 
To dying beauty and 
To one of various malfunctions
That allows ourselves to be

Such insolence the piper shows
Trying hard to hold our strings
With all his lack of strength

And as in sheer delight
We watch this fool just falling down
Silently we sympathize
But the little doubt that starts to rise
From beneath the carnival of imperfection
Quickly is suppressed

Back into a guarding stance
The courtesy of our illusions
Queues up to see another dream
That on the right side simply is
A game of black and white
