Perfect By Definition Poem by Kelsea Osterman

Perfect....
What makes something perfect?
What is perfect?
The dictionary says that it is something that has no flaws.
It is something that has no falts.
It is something or someone that is better
Then anything or anything else.
If you ask someone what perfect is to them
They might say me, or him, or her.
But really no matter what anyone says nothing is perfect.
People who use the word perfect all the time
Start to think of themselves as perfect.
But really if you think about it.
No I mean really think about it.
Can you really tell me that your perfect.
Can you tell me how you think your better than everyone else.
I mean come on tell me why you think your better
Than the mother who must steal bread to feed her starving kids.
Or what about the poor old man who must sleep on the park bench.
Or even the young children who begs for work
So that they can buy food for their starving families.
And what about the girl who uses every scrap of paper she can find
So she can get her great ideas out on paper.
Tell me why you think your better than any of these people.
Why should you be treated any better then them.
Why just because you have nice clothes,
Or is it because you have everything handed to you.
Tell me why you think you should be classified as perfect.
