Flaws

Flaws

A Poem by Egwu Tedd
"

None one is perfect, when we accept it and stop trying too hard to be perfect then we become better people.

"

Name your flaws one by one

Name them before you pick the stone

You have always preached perfection

But your life is as false as your illusion

Our mistakes makes us who we are

Why search for perfection when happiness is not so far?

Be neither judge nor jury

Don’t hide your flaws behind your false fury

Fury you claimed came from my actions

Who made you the officer for sanctions?

 

What is humanity without mistakes?

Though our actions life gives and takes

Our intentions are not always the outcome

Don’t ask how come

Ask what we are without flaws

Ask why we were not made for the laws

We are unique: not perfect but human

Even if I have flaws, I am just a man

to err is human, so they say. I like the positive tone that you have given to human weakness. Accepting our nature and living on. I think knowing who you are is the first step to living a fulfilled life. well penned.

and the rhyming scheme is on point. I like the first two lines: "Name your flaws one by one
Name them before you pick the stone", reflecting what Jesus told the Pharisees who brought the woman caught in adultery. I like how you have made then connection.

Great piece of work!
Absolutely correct, we are not and will not ever be perfect while on earth
only one has, is and always will be perfect and we can only strive to be
like him, Praise Jesus!
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
