Absolute (Inspired by Walt Whitman's "I Sing The Body Electric")


Skin is nothing more than a covering for our bodies Complete with different shades and degrees Absolute black and white doesn't exist here Everything runs and functions for our needs From our crown to our golden cleats Absolute black and white doesn't exist here Do not criminalize the nurturing bosom or the broad shoulders Each divine part and form are apart of all human life holders Black and White still doesn't exist Both hold beauty and magnificence, male, and female Lost ones make corruptions to their vessels that will forever dwell Defile it they may, but black and white doesn't exist
