Grey Zone

A major part of life is in the zone of grey.
Very little's black or white on any given day.
So often we must choose, we must decide,
Which of the choices is the better side.

On one side there's wrong and there's also right
And on the other side, similar is our plight.
Decisions aren't easy when both right and wrong exist,
For no matter how you lean, there is a downing twist.

If life were black and white, could be seen as such,
Decisions would be easy. We wouldn't stress so much.
But life is not as we'd like with its many shades of grey,
So, our best decisions can still leave us in dismay.

Since choices and decisions in life must be made,
We cannot escape, good and bad must be weighed.
This dilemma we all face, each and every one.
Therefore, keep in mind when there are errors done.

When neither side's a winner or not totally a loss,
It seems we are left with only dice to toss.
Oh, the shades of grey instead of black and white;
Not completely sunshine and not as black as night.
