Black and White

For Afraa's colour acrostic challenge

 

Blinded by a

Lack of caring

Alone on a silent

Corner watching

Kindness take

A back seat as

Needless prejudice

Drives hate

Why does it always

Have to be

Insisted that we

Take sides

Either…or

I know I was wasn't invited to participate, but I just thought I'd barge in anyway. :)

Excellent poem. Such a difficult topic to discuss in any platform, but you did so beautifully in your poem. I do not know much about acrostics, but I am definitely interested in learning more. Great job!

They're not always that easy Rude, it depends on the words you choose to build them around. Good luck in your ventures here. Thanks so much.

[rudelizard]

They seem challenging, indeed. But, I'm having some fun playing around with ideas. I really like this site so far. Look forward to reading more of your work. Regards!

So unfortunate that society has to place label's and stigmatisms upon people. We are not on this earth to please others but God and He is no respecter of persons ,nice write Will though I would of laid it all on the line but that's just me cause social injustice eats my crawl

Too often the world is divided by color or religion or national origin. Indeed, the prejudice is needless...and cruel. Compassionate words. Lydi**

I enjoyed the poem. Hard to stay in the middle of some topics. People want decisions and words spoken. A interesting poem. Hard to support all sides. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
