Shades Of White

In the community
Where there are shades of white
There's no immunity
For shades of black in night

Celebrated as light
Fixture with no demise
The other base for fight
Without a compromise

The beauty of off white
Established with purpose
The base for all that's bright
No shelter for remorse

Black from eternity
The holding of shadows
Closet for enmity
The base for all that glows

What is white without black
For how then can shades be
Hidden in truth is fact
There's white hidden in me

Who don't look good in black?
What is White without shades
Rippling in tear's track
This destruction of grades

Yes there are shades of black
Just as constant nor rare
White wont allow for lack
And dark makes void for fear
