Quality In the Face of Morality

Morality, it's 'good' it's 'grand' and works to some degree.
But sometimes for us it leads to marshland or tragedy.
Why so you ask? Does it not complete and compel the task?
It hinders as often the 'right' thing needs to be waited for and unmasked.
It is not the shining truth that leads to many good deeds and for time and time it has not treated me equally,
I ignored the value of virtue and listened and partook in it frequently,
True it stands that the building blocks have some quality where humans have found gravity,
But It's more what you do and how you acknowledge why they exist with sanity that makes things good and grand in reality.
