black, some people believe,
is the murder of colors
and white, their liberation
while others claim black is
the acceptance of colors
and white, their rejection
but neither black nor white
can tell the whole truth
about the world of colors.
where lies the significance
of being black or white is neither
in the presence nor in the absence
and neither in the absorbed nor
in the reflected, but rather
in the equity that transforms
and plays the colors like harp strings
with the full range of justice of even
the most extreme measures.
