In the Alpine forests <br />Of Burgundy, I build a log cabin next to a stream. <br />Everything I do there protests <br />This world's vanity, along the seam <br /> <br />Of Clarity and Delusion <br />The earth sits, and bickers <br />What is right and wrong with much confusion. <br />It debates, while my lamp flickers, <br /> <br />And I rest Knowing, <br />That I see the Universe in Shades of Grey. <br />And writing meditatively, Blowing <br />My message to humanity from May <br /> <br />To April, and over again. <br />I subtely preach aganist the Ultimate Sin. <br /> <br />(29 May 2008) <br />(Justin, Texas)<br /><br />John Parsons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shades-of-grey-10/
