"Black & White"
  by Elle


Not everything in life is Black and White
Sometimes we fall into the Grey
We slip into the cracks of life that make no sense
Despite how much we try to explain
If things could be as simple as Black and White
I wouldn’t have to fight against the realities of life
That sometimes we are called to fight
With no guarantees that when we do
We will put an end to the terrors that strike
My heart will never understand the destruction
The overwhelming growth of corruption
The greed that poisons and causes us to feed
Burn villages to the ground
Attack those that are most weak
We are the cancer of the earth
The abominations
The black sheep
The glitch in the system
That piece of food stuck in my teeth
We are the fuck ups
The reason the world cries at night
We are the Gray that isn’t allowing us to see
The Black and White

Real words and writen very well; I remember some of your other work before you took it off and all of your work is deep and penetrating to the soul.

Clean. That is all I can muster for this piece; clean. To call it thought provoking would only pigeon hole its meaning. Its been so long... to think I almost forgot how talented you are. "The glitch in the system"... that phrase is too powerful for this piece alone.
