GREY CAPSULE

I'm GREY CAPSULE,

Friend of all,

And enemy to none.

I warm the heart of earthlings,

Just like the Sun.

To create anything without a dose of me,

Is like planting a mustard seed mid-air, hoping for a tree.

Though a seed full of promise, it never takes root or stand tall,

I'm Grey Capsule,

The balance, the basis of it all.

I'm GREY CAPSULE,

Even the Chief Justice of the federation,

Needs a dose of me before he gives his final Jurisdiction. I'm always the answer,

The pathway to lasting solution.

Ask the builder about the last foundation he constructed without me,

If it's still standing then woe unto me.

I whispered the secrets that helped the pyramids of Giza defy time,

Without me,

No structure reaches it's prime.

I'm GREY CAPSULE,

A fully furnished, a universal,

Anti-conflict Machine,

Yet omitted during war scenes.

If only Israel and Iran had listened to my echoes,

There'd be no need for the use of iron domes,

Wives wouldn't have turned widows,

But they chose war fueled by their pride and ego.

I'm GREY CAPSULE,

They've locked me up in a dungeon,

Both my hands and feet bound tight.

Why does a region with low rainfall set it's self on fire?

Why replace rainfall with ballistic missiles?

Why can't they see I'm the solution and quickly set me loose,

If ignorance was a twin, it'll definitely be these two.

I'm GREY CAPSULE,

I've sustained more injuries than the victims of these wars,

Because nothing hurts more than being the answer,

But you're locked away behind closed doors.

I'm GREY CAPSULE,

Always left out,

Stranded,

Like the children in the middle-east,

Isolated,

I've always had a voice,

But never a podium to speak,

They've silenced the cure,

And they watch their wounds go unhealed.

I'm GREY CAPSULE,

They said you're either black or white,

No in-betweens,

But behind these colours, lies GREY,

Always unseen.

Not every tear is pain,

Neither every smile joy,

These feelings stretches beyond the stars,

They're more nuanced than plain.

I'm the GREY CAPSULE,

A little drug, but yet a universal antidote,

I'm that unnoticed tradesman that ensures peaceful transaction between light and darkness,
