The gray

by Michael Fiscaletti, staff reporter

A common ideal amongst us is that things are

either always simple or always complicated

Either black and white, or skewed to a color so

gray that there’s no real need to look at it

Though a rarity, there are many things

made up of two simple sides

But in truth, neither is the answer

Each argument has a middle ground

Every group has a non-believer

Every opinion has someone who’s undecided

And, usually, we have our own ideas

Nothing in life is simply black or white

We couldn’t live without the gray

Good and Evil have their own justifications

and no two people are the same

There is a savanna in every desert

A rock in every river

A center to every endless expanse

Including those in our mind.
