Shades of Gray
White is the absence of color
Black is every color combined
Everyone else is somewhere in between
White is the absence of sin
Black is darkness, no light
Anything else is shades of gray
If we all have dark and light in us,
What makes us so different?
Our degrees
We’re all made of the same thing
In different concentrations
But all we let ourselves see
Is the color
If we understood
That every shade
Complements the others
We could find real peace
And love
And acceptance
