Imperfect Me Poem by Okim Otu

Imperfect Me

Rating: 5.0


If I was sitted on the throne of grace
With angels and archangels
Where iota of darkness can't be trace
And solemn songs sprawled, of holy evangels

Then like martyr will I be stone
Or hung to death at night
If I erred or stray to paths unknown
Or on my deeds demons take delight

But I am human with scores of flaw
Weaknesses hunting me like a hawk
Faults making me stay on fearsome awe
And I trail in this hassling walk

And If I err
And err and err,
Please forgive
And forgive and forgive

I'm a fallible human being
Striving to become divine
Earth is filled with imperfect being
Perfection belong to the Divine.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Those looking for perfect men and women must go to heaven, earth is filled with imperfect beings. We must learn tolerance and forgiveness.

So very true. No one is perfect and everybody has his own flaw. Yet, we have a heart and mind that can tame this flaw.
