So Much On Human Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

So much on Human Nature that one ought to believe
Such as the thing known as perfection none can hope to achieve
You may be a good person you may be even great
And others may look up to you and your achievements celebrate
But those we see as extraordinary in some ways are ordinary
Even those we look up to are flawed that's how 'twould seem to me
I have known many people I have walked on many a street
But the one who is near perfect is the one I have yet to meet
If we look for flaws in others the flaws not hard to see
The most perfect not perfect that's how 'twould seem to be
The more I learn of Human Nature the less of it I know I know
And knowledge as well as wisdom on bushes does not grow
And some things on Human Nature that one ought to believe
Such as the thing known as perfection none can hope to achieve.
