AfroPoets Famous Writers
On Being Taken for Granted
This casually tendered bit of flame---
Think you, it scores my heart?
Or brands with certain passion there
Its very counterpart?
Such flickering scarlet! Knew you not
Some fiercer, candent light
For firing an intensity
Immaculate and white?
Written by Anita Scott Coleman (1890-1960)
