Battle Of The Shades Of Grey

Raven fell to a graceful dream,
than he saw a bird as white as the sun..
Awoke Raven in his croaking scream,
the battle of light and dark had just begun..
Soon the dream became reality,
Dove arrived in the flesh.
Raven soon was rejected by humanity
Mans kinds fear and hate was at its best.
Raven wandered 'what did I do?'
To deserve such an out casting.
I am dark this is true
Is this for now or forever lasting?
So now i ask you
Who makes the rules?
What makes all this true?
Do we even think or are we all fools?
When was it decided?
That white was good
and that darkness
and blackness was not.
