We are all siliwets someway or another. We all have those darks thoughts that we regret, or for some people don't regret. There are many people that feel like they are the dark substance against a light background, which is actually the definiton of a silhouette. I feel like this one word can describe many of us in different ways. That is why I go by it. P.S. I know I mispelled silhouette, the way I write it, though, has much meaning to me personally.

"Standing in the ruins of another black man's life
Or flying through the valley separating day and night
"I am death!" cried the vulture for the people of the light
Karon brought his raft from the sea that sails on souls
And saw the scavenger departing, taking warm hearts to the cold
He knew the ghetto was a haven for the meanest preacher ever known
In the wilderness of heartbreak and a desert of despair
Evil's clarion of justice shrieks a cry of naked terror
Taking babies from their mamas, leaving grief beyond compare
So if you see the vulture coming, flying circles in your mind
Remember there is no escaping for he will follow close behind
Only promise me a battle, battle for your soul and mind
And mine "
