Color White or Color Black

Graphite scribbles mar the pages
And blur the stories of the soul;
Every blotch a mark of sin,
The smears of worries dark as coal—

Each of us makes choices daily,
Our legacy upon the plaque—
Written on the souls around us,
We color white or color black.

Holding a pencil and eraser,
You have to choose what you will do:
Darken life with selfish choices
Or erase them – it’s up to you.
