gray pride
when you have only
black and white
you can clearly decide
which one is which.
so it was with god and the devil.
the devil knew,
when god endowed humans
with free will,
that as long as white was white
and black was black
people would always know exactly
what to choose.
so the devil invented the color gray.
in that moment
people stopped considering
the original black and white,
and began to think in shades of gray.
and they did that fast
and easily,
because gray was so much closer
to the clay’s original color…
thus,
the so-called “human factor” was born.
and it’s true
that any hue of grayness isn’t black.
aye,
but it ain’t white either…

I love the clay reference, and the feel of clay in my hands.

Frank says it best, diobolically clever. A great many souls endeavor to conceal a great many sins in that "gray area".

...but how do you know it was the devil that invented the shade of grey... maybe god is a lot more human than we give credit for... a thought provoking write that makes me burn to play devil's advocate. ;)
