The truth is always right
Being right isn't always truthful
Being right can be a mere opinion
Truth however is always fact

By: Stephen Etuokwu


We live in a colorful world 
Vibrant kaleidoscopes defining our lives 
The rich reds of roses brighten up a storefront 
A soft orange fills a carbonated soda can 
The burning yellow of our neighborhood star- the sun 
Brillant rolling green hills across the plains 
The clear blue might of our massive oceans 
Stunning indigo of bluebonnets 
The impressive violet of a juicy grape 
 
It is so safe to say that all the ‘’bright colors’ get the most love, but... 
 
Remember gray, as anonymous as a shadow 
And black, filling the empty spaces in our mind 
White on a blank canvas 
Brown buried under the more popular colors 
 
Without them, some colors as we know it will cease to exist 
 
No bright bubble gum pink, a combo of red and white 
No deep earthy green, supplied by green and black 
 
So many different combinations, and so many creations idly waiting to be created 
Individually, they are bold, dazzling, and mysterious.  
Melded together they are exotic, awe-inspiring, and life-changing.  
 
Sometimes our ideas are just like. 
Because collaborating brings out the best of ALL worlds.  
When we band together and mix our ideas, it gives a fresh perspective and something new to see.  
Putting together interests and ideas is how revolutionary movements are formed.

That was impressive! If you are familiar with the Bible, something of this concept is in 1st Corinthians when God says that his people all have a gift and none is more important than another and Everybody is necessary:)
