The black man in the dark
Sobbing silently
His head down in between his knees
Once again he has lost his peace
In his head are the regular beasts
In his fist are the coloured pills
Death is the only visible door, so he thinks
He looks deeply into the thick dark
Nothing in sight
This is the state of his soul
An overwhelming darkness
He lost the battle to the unrelenting beasts
Raised his head only to bow it forever
Down his piles goes the pills
And for the last time,
He heaved a sigh of relief
Let down the last drop of tears
Down he goes, never to rise again
His body is here
But his souls is far beyond the seas
The black man in the dark
