Black and White

by Symanntha Renn
(Missouri, USA)

Black so dark stands defiantly
White so crisp stands stoutly
Black so bold and apparent
Forces its way into our world
White stays the course
Holding its arrogant head high
Black pushes white and there's a smudge
White is so shocked to see gray
Gray has appeared from nowhere
Complicating things, a love triangle
Where there were once two
There are now three
And the smudge will not erase
Gray gets bigger blurring the line
Between two apparent choices
