"Black Dog" on the radio. I can't accept the silence.
But don't need another Samurai song. Another reminder.

That's the price for our greed, and we had to pay the price.
Money won't solve it. This's not worth any money in the world.

Sitting in the shower and there's blood in the water.

There's a knock at my door. You ask me how I am doing.
Look me in my eyes and tell me everything's not fine. I know.

I know, we'll never get free. I beg myself for forgiveness.

Daily Prompt:

April 7 - song
Blood // Water - grandson

Technical Prompt:

7. 8th sentence on the 8th page, start with that sentence and write an eight-line poem.

Okay, I went with my old version of Treasure Island and the 8th sentence is someone shouting "Black Dog!" And for the song-prompt I went with lots of lyrics and mixed it up (again).

I'm not sure about this. I kinda like it and for some part I can make sense of it - but don't ask me to explain.
One of those poems you're supposed to be interpreting in school and actually the author themself doesn't know what's going on. It's that kind of poem.
