Black 'n Tan

I got that tint; I’m black and tan
you looked, I stood and then you ran
just so happens; I couldn’t get far
if I could; I’d hit that bar
the one my master took me from
when I was weak and kinda dumb
I was out by the back door where the liquor come
in need of milk, Frank gave me some
got me comin off that tit
said I’d make it, that was it
gave me to a fella who had a girl
who said I’d “help” spike her world
be loyal and courageous just like him
his name is Jim, she named me Tim
I hang around... yeah they cool
You step to them I’ll kick your mule

Nice topic Indie, my try!

Lucifer the fallen's
Final rebellion
the morningstar rises
engulfing the golden glow
of his adversary throne
his shadow soar in the somber sky
in the absence of light
his legion of darkness
humongous, as if
they formed into clouds
masking the heavens

.:What The Deacon Saw:.

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/579894_415623941791287_121612214525796_1356907_346513892_n.jpg

The Deacon?
They saying soon he might be speaking
But some solemn ass witnesses the likes of Steel Eye and Dan “Bright” Redd
They been saying even the Deacon got The Blues
Saying he’s just been all-out phreaking; about to blow a fuse
For the last few…give or take a few
Ups have been down and the Deacon’s downs
They’ve been up, up, up and away!
Matter fact the whole county been feeling that way
Like its been ripped sideways!

Now who’s been counting & watching these days?

The collection plate it’s been like a weighted Frisbee
The pass around don’t get nothing but a burdening frown
It ain’t got barely no paper to speak of nor any significant coinage
Them Cutler Creek wells have been dry except for the sewage
Necessitating them fresh water runs, them deliveries
So far they’ve been coming in at least twice a week
But they can’t hold a candle to any long-term needs
Some saying somebody “throwing bones”
That we won’t be in an “honorable” position
If and when the position change…good or for the worse
Some saying its like The End…but this ain’t no rehearse

Maybe it is a curse…Lord have mercy!

.:The Next to the Last View:.

Certainly there’s an odd situation at hand
One, maybe two serious occurrences that we can’t fathom
And ain’t none...not a one can understand how it got this way
Figure, gotta get in close if you really wanna see
Billy Bob with just the occasional “fly over”
Even the county drunks been getting & staying sober
State officials with their blackouts; media being spoon fed bull crap
Got ‘em all…them & us on ignore
Townsfolk, they getting kinda anxious up there at Marley’s store
Nosebleeds...some with their joints extra sore
More so than usual…Even the mothers with milk
Even they don’t wanna come home
Especially at night; now you know that ain’t right
Heard they now part-timing; they working them co-ops up in the city
Wherein most if not all…they done put their earnings into big pots,
Seems they connecting the dots; sharing their expenses
And some they done got themselves little plots
Setups in some of them urban gardens
Giving classes on tit pulling. Teaching workers
Teaching ‘em the wonders & benefits of blackstrap molasses
Slow, but they say they some interesting classes
Anyways…some saying the Megachurches
Saying they done tipped the scale
An illusion to that modern day all-hail; them storm blasts
Like the ones up by Wicked Ridge; up there they found that sludge
State troopers wouldn’t budge. And that mist?
Turning everything crimson. We never did find old man Hinson
Now most, especially them elders; they expecting them frogs to launch
Straight up out the creek; some of them folk saying give it another week
We’ll all be seeing it…real soon; lot of folks saying it’ll be too soon
Give or take a few…giving our world and us that Last View
Now for real partner…tell us who else might’ve knew!
Lord have mercy…your eyes! You’ve seen it too!

My understanding of the thread, the comp, was...or is you're suppose to use one of the pictures above as the prompt for your "poem" Albeit, you posted up a pretty nice poem, I couldn't, and still can't tell for certain what picture or pictures that Indie provided you were using as your prompt. Perhaps at this point you can clarify...at least for me.

Pardon me if I'm a little slow in understanding your intent..

Wanderings
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/533309_364920086903134_691322106_n.jpg

Within this forest
My heart does beat
For wander I so lost
A soul searching for a mate
Or a kindred soul to meet

So dark this forest
so dusky so frightening
and yet, compelled, I traverse on
I quest and search for someone
To take my hand and lead me out

This forest live within my existence
Engulfing passion clutching my being
Lives on and on, ever darkening
Grasps me it in merciless love
I wander on touching each falling leaf

Thus I meander as I wait
For haloes of breaking lights
To guide me out from this darkest of night
Until I see the break of dawn
Here I be, lost and forlorn.
