Grey Shield

How far can you go before your actions for good
plunge you into the world of bad
How long can your actions for the greater good
keep you on the good guy's side
Where do you draw the line?
At what point does your white light armor
fade to grey … 
then eventually black
Where is the line between?
Can you see it?
or are you treading on faded dotted guides, weathered by the grey
How do you know?
Do you feel the tarnish of your actions
as you muddy your shield?
