You will find in human nature

There is no pure good nor pure evil

Even angels are not 100% pure

And devils are merely fallen angels

If angels have the potential to fall,

They are not everlastingly good

We were all born pure angelic babies

Parents try their hardest to protect a child's innocence and virtue

But every child becomes gray

Some shades of gray are darker than others

You can smear the graphite to make the gray darker or lighter

Your shade of gray is in your control

All decisions you make;

Every thought, every action, is gray

The rare ones shine a pretty silver

AG is the symbol of my love

He is silver and I am gray

The world we share is gray

For nothing is just black or white

Even the black and white movies,

Are made from different shades of gray that come together on a silver screen
