Are Ideals Stacked too High?

He cleaves to ideals, somewhat boxed in, to rival the ethicists; the nights are young, when the days are old, to picture perfect principles; but it isn’t as it is, rounded as a square, where light is darkness and darkness is light. He couldn’t for seeing—this sphere of grayness, to wonder of one’s training; where dearth is need, and needs become screams, raging through a countenance. He felt it for simple, the sequences of this system, to stumble upon webs—a mallet to a screw, a wrench to a nail, even to meet the concrete skies; but he found appeal, in a vest of answers, to address the human condition. Oh the jaded complex; to rival the moralists, to see a labyrinth; whereby to either fumble, play the sophist, or compromise hardened positions. He studies our pains: the angst of success, the inner turmoil, that sense of reaching forever; moreover: the gnawing pressures, those irksome midways, where it’s neither certain nor understood; for there comes for times—that tender glimpse, to charge our inner battery—where epiphanies cause sullenness. Her rides the merry-go-round, argues the carousel, and pushes for clarity; but oh this need;—this screaming need, pictured in a painted portrait—to need for glitter, and adverse to glitter, sailing sullen silence. He read for answers, to see a thread, to seek out for roots; the turquoise skies, the hellish growths, that too far zone called Xanadu. How to live it—this thing so crooked, where circumstance alters realities; hence, the complications, to scribble a law, to preside over justice; where one is self-defense, another is malice, and one is far too gray. He ventures the sunrays—that close to rain, and furthermore the grains!
