The Grey

The Grey

So much talk about black and white
Polarized opinions
Pendulum swings of assumptions
Who's wrong who's right
Is just shades of grey

Seen a lot
Read even more
Explored and asked
Listened to reasons
Only to hear shades of grey

Wanted clear lines
Distinct judgments
And absolutes
Without variables
Yet they blended into shades of grey

Though there's a sense
And understanding of
Basic rights and wrongs
Knowing good n knowing evil
In the midst of the grey

Seeing the darkness
Seeing the light
Experiencing the good
Experiencing the fight
That takes place within he grey

Life framed by birth n death
Defined "in the dash"
A summation in short sentences
Anecdotes and quips
While here within he grey

Yet still I believe
Know in my knower
Blurred lines not easily visible
Yet able to be discerned 
Within the shades of grey

This purpose given 
A lighter shade 
Added to lighter shades
Dimming the darkness
Lightening shadings of grey
