Absolute Truths

In realms of black and white, we stand,
Where categorical claims hold sway,
No shades of grey can reprimand.

Unequivocal, our command,
No room for doubt, come what may,
In realms of black and white, we stand.

Absolutes, like iron-clad bands,
Bind our thoughts in rigid array,
No shades of grey can reprimand.

Certainty, our chosen brand,
Leaves no space for nuanced play,
In realms of black and white, we stand.

Definitive, each reprimand,
As categorical truths convey,
No shades of grey can reprimand.

Yet wisdom might just understand,
That life’s not always on display,
In realms of black and white, we stand,
No shades of grey can reprimand.
