    Shades of Gray.

    Love and pain go together like day and night,
    In a world without wrong, then there would be no right,

    Without war there is no chance for victory,
    Answers come only when first there is a mystery,

    Nothing is free, everything has a price,
    With every gain there must have been a sacrifice,

    Repentance comes only after guilt and conviction,
    Restoration of spirit comes after soul affliction,

    Forgiveness comes only after confession,
    For every rule there is always an exception,

    The main point I want to convey,
    This world is not black and white,
    Only shades of gray.

    I like the structure and concept of the poem. I would like to see you develop the concept with some imagery and/or metaphor.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
