Inspired by a pair of speeches:
"The Ballot or the Bullet" by Malcolm X
"A More Perfect Union" by Barack Obama
Off and on.
White and black.
The future seems distant
When looking back.
To be or not to be.
That is not the question
But simply an expression
Of eternal indecision.
Live and let live.
Tolerance is relief.
Or maybe just refusal to
Stand up for a belief.
Life is not duality
Nor is it as it seems.
In the gray, not the black or the white
Lie the colors of our dreams.
