Gray,
Not darkness or light
Nor truth or lie
But exposed to all eye
Neither good nor evil
Yet causing an upheaval
Over something that may not be real

Air,
Neither destroying nor creating
Nothing made or done
Just another story spun
Shared and spoken
Look at what’s chosen
And hope reality isn’t that broken

Silence,
To be cracked and shattered
Never withheld or faltering
All views unaltering
From within the same range
But not seeming strange
As everything is precisely arranged


The author's comments:

Fake news has been a major topic lately. In making this piece, I wanted to address the subjectiveness of reporting, even if the biases are unconscious. I hope my words encourage readers to critically think about the media sources they are exposed to.
