Or white like light.

In the age of software translation
A whisper cannot stay a whisper
A word said in confidentiality
Google eavesdrops and shouts it

Cotton remains cotton
Whether it is black or white
White - paper like
Or white like light.
Coal remains the same
If dyed white or pitch black
Like the dark night.

Whether coal could burn
And give warmth;
And cotton could be woven
Into a warm clothing.
Not whether it is black or white.
