The Hidden Gray
The Hidden Gray
Trapped by my own mind
Writing verse after verse
And line after line
While I think,
That the whole world must be blind,
Their conscience asleep
Because I have learned
So many things unknowingly go so deep
Yet trapped I am still
My heart breaks!
Whereas others barely feel
Worse than the devil's own deal?
You will know, when the harsh pain you yourself will feel
Those who see too much
Sometimes wish to be blinded
I don't, but then,
I can be sometimes a little blind-sighted
You can see the devil
And you must fight it
You already have the great candle
All you have to do is ignite it
Take my words with you, if you shall
Sleep on them
And in your dream the truth will occur
You will see finally
The people who are seeking aid and succor
So many things hidden
So many lies told
So many people suffer
As slowly the devil strengthens his hold
I am not here to preach
I am not here to teach
I am here to say
Because like many, my vision is not black or white
It is the hidden gray.

all ihave to say is that the kind of people you are trying to reach to(gray people), do not understand the true meaning of "the devil" at the first place(just some red horned guy!) which is why i think it is apt to use evil or something close to it instead of "devil".
keep writing to rock the world! ; )
