Decay - Acceptance is always diminished. Hope of mankind fades to gray. People never seeing the ripples created by their actions of hatred and bigotry. All is for one, one is never for all. Still we stand. Originality is rare. I am in the middle. Unaffected by the ripples, but not blinded by them. I am neutral. I am the black. I am the white. I am the symbol. I can choose to follow the ripples, or to create my own. I am me.
