Nuance

Imagine, for a moment, that the world was black and white.

Every angle of this Earth, just a blur of grey.

Imagine, if our senses were dulled,

It would be easier to make it through each day.

If our hands were demagnetized

To conform to the way society wanted us to be,

If our eyes were sterilized

And we could only see the zebra stripes that they wanted us to see,

Then what would life be?

If our vision was impaired,

And everything was grey in sight?

Then it would be a race, a chase,

Trying to detect the lines

Between black and white.

THis is a good poem. Your rhythm and word choice help the piece flow. Great job! Keep it up!
