BLACK AND WHITE
I was born into
A religion of Light,
But with so many other
Religions and
Philosophies --
How do I know which
ONE
Is right?
Is it not
My birthright
To seek out the light?
To find Truth,
After surveying all the proof,
Am I supposed
To love
Or fight?
And why are all those that
Try to guide me,
Always start by dividing
And multiplying me --
From what they they consider
Wrong or right?
I thought,
There were no walls
For whomever beams
Truth and light.
And how can one speak on Light's behalf,
If all they do
Is act black ,
But talk
WHITE?
