Black Souls

by Sydney H.
(Mt.Pleasant, Iowa)

angry, depressed, haters, evil, mean, scary
that’s what they say we are,
that’s what they tell there kids,
’black soul’ people can be some of the most
caring, loving, understanding
people in the world
don’t listen to them, they don’t know anyone,
Or anyone’s real soul only, you are wrong, even though nobody knows somebody else’s soul they
are wrong,
the soul keeper knows our real soul,
and each and every one of us is our own soul keepers
