Shades Of Grey Poem by John Parsons

In the Alpine forests
Of Burgundy, I build a log cabin next to a stream.
Everything I do there protests
This world's vanity, along the seam

Of Clarity and Delusion
The earth sits, and bickers
What is right and wrong with much confusion.
It debates, while my lamp flickers,

And I rest Knowing,
That I see the Universe in Shades of Grey.
And writing meditatively, Blowing
My message to humanity from May

To April, and over again.
I subtely preach aganist the Ultimate Sin.
