The nature of human beings

Cannot be described as black or white.

It is much too complicated,

And two colors won’t suffice.


Two ends of an undefined spectrum

With so much in between

An endless sea of gray

Housing destruction and humility


But inside of us we find a choice,

To move along this spectrum

Blurring the lines as we go

Until we forget which path to take


We lose the light in our souls

And the darkness overtakes us


And thus we are reduced

To the absolute nature of us.
