Black is not a color
It is the vile birth place,
of all that is evil…
in the primitive lower brain.
A cesspool of toxic emotions
kept safely locked away
from the frontal lobes
of logic and reason.
But the law of averages
is a law that’s never broken.
There will always be a few
that escape…
the lower brain’s prison.
Harbingers of Satan,
these amoral sociopaths
born from the void of black.
Color blind to lifes beauty,
save for the sticky essence
flowing from their victms.
The macabre art work of insanity
painted in arterial sprays of crimson.
Each poor soul a brush stroke
on their canvas of still life death.
Framed in the broken shards
of their shattered chaotic minds.

Burning words, expressive thoughts.
Impressive write. -
Phew, this is PRIMAL. This is why you wrote this, to explore the primal urge that threatens, always threatens to appear and wreck havoc, great poem, dark, scary but great, you made your point in a way that I, at least, will remember.

I had to come read this because I was torn between choosing this title or the one I chose, just had to see what you did with it...
You knocked it out of the ball park and I am glad I left it for you because you did the title justice!
You really have some great descriptive phrases within each stanza describing the
color black and I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Awesome description of the word black my friend! Creepy even.... what the contest asked for. I think you have a typo in the last stanza 4th line.... should it be canvas? Anyway, great right. You are quite flexible in your writing. I wish I could say the same.
Best wishes,
Frogz~
