Once Upon A Time

There was a time …
When we were all Joyful.. Free..
Perfectly Incomplete Beings..
Our Intentions were Pure…
Our Imperfections were negligible.
People Mattered…
But that was then.

Now we have lost our Imperfections…
Everyone Perfect in their own sight..
However, Horrid beings in each other’s..
Pride poisons our perspective..
Status ruins our conscience…
Greed decays our Intentions…

Now Disgustingly Perfect…
We parade in our own Destruction..
Each trying to trample his neighbour..
Quick to offer the Misleading Compliment..
Lethal Critique…. Filthy Slander..
Rarely do we serve Purity, Justice.

We barely Breathe as we fight for our very Air…

Mothers eat their children….
Lovers only know how to Hate…..
Neighbours poison each other…
Nations wage their wars….
Conflict after Conflict after Conflict..
Destruction followed by Destruction..
Why??

We no longer believe in our imperfections…

There was once a time
When Our imperfections joined us together..
In our failure we were Coherent..
We were Perfect because we weren’t….
But..
That Was Then.
