A black and white prairie- did it ever exist?
Did anyone but the lonesome traveler
who when happened upon it said,
"It appears I am lost", reside in its space?
A black and white prairie- is there a place more vacant?
Even the bird flying near remarks,
"I have reached the end so I must turn back."
Too afraid to pass through something so foreign.
A black and white prairie- is nobody there?
Or do its inhabitants lie cold beneath the ground,
living only in some distant time?
Did they leave anything behind?
A black and white prairie- it has a place in everyones' mind.
It is the dusty record that nobody plays.
It is the dream that one denies having.
It is both a reminder of our freedom
and a warning of the end.
We live in a Black and White Prairie.
