“in a world of black and white,
where shades of gray fade from sight,
we defend, deny, depose,
ignoring the truth that complexity shows.
we build walls with simple lines,
blind to the colors that intertwine.
truths untold, stories lost,
in the shadows, we count the cost.
when we refuse to see the blend,
we miss the chance to comprehend.
life's a canvas, not just two tones,
in the silence, complexity moans.
defend the simple, deny the rest,
depose the truth, but fail the test.
embrace the chaos, let it unfold,
in the mess, the beauty is told.”
