To Be Flawed Poem by Francis Duggan

To be flawed is to be human this applies to all
But any kindness by you to another person is never too small
Since those with the gifts of empathy and compassion are good people indeed
And of more of their sort the Human World is in need
The vast majority of the human population are not free of taint
And a rare one indeed is the living saint
In the twenty first century where there is far less respect for human life
And greed and corruption are Worldwide and rife
They do have rare gifts the compassionate and kind
In the helping of those in need of helping they are readily inclined
Without expecting the rewards of monetary pay
They perform a good deed or two every day
So few near to perfect does seem true to say
This is how we are and we will always be this way.
