Panda's Truth

by - June 19, 2020


For centuries
the world has debated
what is right
& what is decidedly not
we've bent this way and that
in the winds of time
but maybe there isn't
any line between the two
maybe, there's just gray
and grayer
perhaps there isn't
truth and lies
there's just which truth
is truer
your truth
my truth
our truth
their truth
we each have our own 
our own bamboo
in a bamboo forest
and if everyone thought
theirs was the tallest
the sturdiest, the best
nobody would ever get anywhere
we'd be at war, all the time
so maybe we always knew
that the world was made of gray
it's just that we all want to think
that the hero wears white
and the enemy wears black
after all, 
the victor writes the history books
if only
the blurred vast world of gray
were as simple as 
a panda's simple life
of black and white
