Perfection is impossible

LOOKING FOR PERFECTION

Folder: 
FOLDER 2011


 

 


If you are looking
for perfection

STOP!

Look no further
it does not exist
in this world.

We were all born
into sin, sinners
we are.

So we must remain
always searching,
seeking GOD.

We all strive for
it
search for it
few if any obtain
it.

When at last our
earthly journey
is over
we will then return
to the land of
perfection.

Sit and drink from
the river of life
in peaceful
surroundings.

Gaze into the crystal
sea
meet our loved ones
resting there
waiting for us

Perfection awaits.

Perfection

Folder: 
2000

Why do you try

Ever so hard

To make me perfect?

 

Because I am not

What you want

Me to be all around.

 

I cant stand it,

Not one single bit.

When you say

 

I am doing wrong

For making a "C"

Instead of an "A"

 

You claim that

I claim that

I am perfect

 

And I have nothing

Wrong with me at all.

I never, ever made

 

Such silly claims

I know for a fact,

I nor any other person

 

Is or can be perfect.

It is impossible

In this world we live in.

 

Please I beg of you,

I am on my knees,

Begging and pleading.

 

That you realize

I know I am not perfect

And that it is pointless

 

For me to even hope

To be perfect.

I already see this,

 

It isn't to hard at all.

I am not asking

For you to give up.

 

I am quite simply

Asking you to please

Quit pushing me so hard

 

To be perfect.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I actually like this poem. Because at the end, there is a  line that says "To be perfect." The poem is obviously written in three line stanzas, where the last line stands by itself. I think its a pretty good example of my thoughts and feelings toward this.  That I truley believe is a good example of what I was trying to say.
