there are three shades of shadows the black ones we all know subservient to the wills of others some may know the gray ones that blend into the landscape of society but few know of the white shadows shadows that can control the physical environment making trees to bend and humans to dance like puppets on a string they are the shadows of history oh not those visible in textbooks but those traced in invisible ink on the pages of our lives shadows that have defined us and steer the course of tomorrow
