self

By the broken

one eye is black
one eye is white
but both still have a heaven's light
when in sight the soul is black
when out the soul is white
the color of a soul
of a soulless man

    soullessness and just rudimentary. in my personal opinion anyone that says they are souless doesn't know the difference between right or wrong and should be put out of their misery because theyare a blight to society. But if that would happen I would be the first in line lol wonderful pen though. makes a person stop to think.
