No Grey Poem by Amera Andersen

Surprised and distracted, don’t be surprised,
agree when you’re told, pretend you agree.
Despised ‘cause you acted, you’ll be despised.
Free in a black and white world is not free.

Just follow the rules, pretend you are just,
close your eyes to the hate as blind minds close.
Trust in those people you never can trust,
suppose that they’re right; be loved I suppose.

Move to the beat of a different drum, move.
Be yourself the way they want you to be.
Prove that you’re right so that they cannot prove.
See how they hate when their eyes cannot see.

We live in a black and white world; don’t we?
Free your mind and simply pretend you’re free.
