All the Sweet Shades of Grey


Oh! The cleverness of an idle empty hand and yet other people are half slave too.


This year, talk was cheap in the sweet shades of gray.
This year, chat was cut-rate.
The less you talked, the more I listened.
The more I listened to your silence the more truth I discovered.


As if, truthfulness is a double-edged sword.
Watch others who gladly tell every detail, as if they are in a drama.
Without guilt or shame, the players pay to play.
Chains of the many know everything and everything is often a lost cause.


Throw it out the window and revel in careless pleasure.
Spread the truth, the powerful, and the destroyer.
The jury is still out all are quiet; put away the unhappy social situations.
Yes, keep quiet within the ropes for these straps can only get tighter.

We are all guilty, til the day we die,

and we are redeemed when our parking is validated.

Yeah, I can relate to this a lot!

I keep my interpersonal battles in the down low, so I liked the pom a lot! It's a keeper! I love the first line! How true is that proverb!? Cheers SS
