Thank you. My favorite poet, Mr. Marvin, and I always try to bring out the best in people by making them feel better about themselves.

POETRY
by Jay Marvin

BLACK FLOWER GARDEN

This sickness in me blooms like a black flower
the petals forming in stench and anger
I feel it wrap around my rib cage and hurt me
a constant reminder of the numerous ingredients
added to grow this common plant of total alienation
it drinks three times a day from brown cooked liquid
if it dies I die most things have been tried
talking it out
medicating it out
jailing it out
yet it continues to grow taking more of me
which means I take from you nothing big
a few consumer items you can do without
I stand on street corners sick and shaky
searching for food for my dark sick plant
its roots leading back to you a seed you planted
long ago now in full bloom under the purple orange
smog of consumption and moral corruption.
