Shades of Grey
Everything was grey
No difference twixt night or day.
There was no joy or happiness
Colours were banned, put to rest.
Buildings crumbled, neglected
Hope was pushed out rejected.
Water had all but run out
Food was dwindling no doubt.
Everyone was dower, sad
They had lost all they had, had.
One night the sky came to life
Colours across the grey did strike
Few saw, all to busy looking down.
Trapped in twilight stumbling around.
The words painted on the wall
Like a joke taunting them all.
A distorted ladder did arrive
One brave man climbed to reach the sky.
“Yes”he said “the beginning is near”
“But it is the end for us I fear.”
