There are certain people in this world

That commit evil deeds

Purely for the sake of their own pleasure

They fall so far into the black

Into the dark

That they forget

They had even seen the light

In the first place

They wish to drown the world

in soot and ink

Make demons out of shadows

And tear down everything

that makes it work  

And then there are others

The people who live in the white

Who are so blinded by the light

That they do not see the harm

That they cause with their

Zealotry

Their blind devotion.

They must believe in something more

To make themselves feel less insignificant

And then there are

Those who see both sides of the same coin

Who walk the razor’s edge

Who sink into the dark

So that others may ascend into the light

Who bear the burden of the fire when others

Fail to meet the challenge

The ones who walk the line

The ones who see the grey

 

People fear those who are devoted to the black

And count on the ones devoted to the white

But no one notices the grey.
