I actually wasn't even certain, I thought perhaps it meant Black Poetry, as in dark poetry...poetry with a morbid theme...such as in cinema there is Film Noir (which which I am in no way familiar as a genre, however I've heard of it... :-/// (sorry, hope that's not embarrassing, Robert)) I googled it, not so sure by who's definition comes the list I got, I don't think it's a traditional academic list. ( :-( ), but I've seen and liked a number of them, but there are also a few on it that I have tried a couple times, and never could get into and like, and watch the whole thing.

Goddamned the ignominy of fools of meagre commentary!
"What is that which has been? The very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? The very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." than just a measly "There is no new thing under the sun."

Speaking of standing on the shoulders...

"We stood on the shoulders of giants
Like Atlas with the burden of faith
We clasped our hands—our hands in praise
Of a conqueror's right to tyranny
--*Death Of The Gods' (album "Redemption At The Puritan's Hand") ~~Primordial

But wait, there's more relating to nothing new under the Sun, the damning realization from the fact...

And whatever mine eyes desired, I withheld not from them, I withheld not my heart from all my mirth: for my heart rejoiced in all my labour; and this was my portion of all my labour.
And I looked on all my works which my hands had wrought, and on my labour which I laboured to perform: and behold, all was vanity and waywardness of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun.

Shut up, Tod.

"I linger here for the mountains
the waters, and the shadows only
this tribe ain't mine."
Homeless (1972, California), Ahmos Zu-Bolton

"I see you've chosen to lose your faith
To burn your bridges and lose your way
From mountain top to valley deep
From shore to cursed shore
What nation, what state, what land is this?
Of the wretched Tribe of Nero"
--'As Rome Burns' ~~Primordial

This dirge that I have begun
rambles and it's dreadfully long
for it's eternal and will be sung
from here to eternity, life long
by all the pain I see around me
those with avarice in their eyes
greedy to be happy, yet not free
The desolation in their voices
the dolorous sighs of hopes dying
as their aspirations crumble to the ground
Who would have wisdom, come gather around
while I tell that respite is six feet down
So steel yourself to the terror of the screams
for they're merely of slaughtered dreams
--'The Finale (stream)' (stanza 6)(coming soon!) ~~AshWurthing
