Caught in Is/Ought...

Caught in the snare
of "Is" vs "Ought"
Struggle not to stare
at all there is not
Blinded by the glare
obscuring what's sought

Trapped in the sight
of what is not seen
Obsessed with the fight
for what it should mean

Learn then to live
with the way it all is
and try not to give
my eyes to Le Mis

Remain as I ought
Contained in the thought
Not diluted like fizz
in the contrary is

For it is what it is
despite all I've sought
and life's too short for this
to ensnare till I rot

Leave then the snare
that is this Is/Ought
and continue to care
for all that I've got
