Shades of Gray

The world, some say, is black and white.
And I suppose 'tis true,
With limited perspective, or
A narrow point of view.

To some there is a right and wrong,
There is no other way.
Enforcing their morality;
They do not ever stray.

Now, I won't write there is no wrong.
Nor will I thus dismiss
The presence of a moral right.
My point is simply this:

In the spectrum of the colors
Are many shades and hues.
And from this vast selection, with
Discretion, we may choose.

There are limits. There are guidelines;
And truths we can't deny.
However, many avenues
Are there for us to try.

For some things matter little, from
A more eternal view.
To show this, I'll a question pose
And prove my point to you:

In the morning when you wake up
And crawl out of your bed,
Should you firstly opt to brush your teeth
Or wash your face instead?
