GREY ZONE

If we find in our lives one path

Which is wrong

We have a whole spectrum of things

Which are not altogether wrong

And therefore more or less right

Wrong is clear and visible

While the right

Is a conglomerate

Of parallel alternatives which

Do not compromise with the wrong.

Most of the time, we are operating

In the domain of the options

Which we consider right

And they are morally acceptable

Until we do not step on the wrong choice.

This is how life’s business is conducted.

Evil chooses the wrong option

But men like you and me operate

In the grey zone earmarked for right.

ROSE  

The rose

Was watered every day

Yet in its heart

It was sinking and wilting away.

Sunshine, winds, and

Honey bees

Gathered to ask

What is the matter, hey?

For whom I travelled

The path

Of life and death

I see those eyes turned away.

Water does not keep

Them alive

For whom they glow

Not only men even plants know.
