No Gray
March 1, 2016
Black or white
Two separate colors
One point of view
No in-between
Two separate colors defining the culture of only right or wrong
Black or white
One point of view
No in-between
One point of view of "all or nothing"
No in-between
Two separate colors
Black or white
There is no time for the combination of positive and negative to make a whole
There is no such thing as middle ground
There are only options A and B, no option C
There is no such thing as neutral
There is only good or bad
Positive or negative
Right or wrong
All or nothing
Black and white do not mix

I wrote this poem to show this sort-of black and white world we live in. There is only right or wrong, there is only positive or negative qualities about someone, there is only being accepted or rejected into a college, there is only right or wrong (no partial credit); essentially there is no in between. Therefore, when black and white mix, it creates gray but we live in a society where there is no gray; we live in a society that is only this or that, black or white.
