What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us<br /> -Ralph Waldo Emerson


People like to think the world is all one color

Black or white

Sad or Happy

Bad or good

 

Black-as black as the sea of night

As black as the first sky on the first day

Full of evil and all of his followers

Black or white

Sad or happy

Bad or good

 

White-as white as the wings of a dove

Ushering in peace-bringing a new dawn

Saving souls of all

Black or white

Sad or happy

Bad or good

 

The truth is nothing is one color

The world is a rainbow of emotion

Not only do we have black and white

But we have various shades of grey

The shades of grey that keep us going

 

For we can't have joy without sorrow

Love without hate

Healing without pain

 

Life is a dabble of all greys

Without the grey, life would be a black and white movie

Boring

 

Nothing is all one thing

Nothing is all

Black or white

Sad or happy

Bad or good

I hope that we can all learn to look at the world without bias or prejudice and with more understanding toward one another
