Life is not perfect;
and if you try to be perfect
for the not so perfect,
then this world would be imperfect.

Perfection, or something like it
is imperfection at its best.
When the insecure professes
perfection and imperfection,
reverse psychology is at work.

When the insecure and imperfect
tries to manipulate you,
they are intimidated,
afraid and ashamed of themselves
and so insecure about SELF.

Whether perfect or imperfect,
Whether imperfect or perfect,
be who you are,
express whom or what you must express
whenever and wherever you feel to EXPRESS

Yes, let the insecure or the secure,
or something like it
confine tnemselves in a bubble of
untruthfulness and lies and pseudo realism

Be not imprisoned
in unconscious stupidity and insanity.
Lift up your spirit in joy.
Do not wade in the murky waters of
despondency and mediocrity,
Lift up your spirit in joy, and love,
and hope, and peace and
the beauty of what is love, and joy and LIFE.
Yes, that's LIFE
Imperfect or perfect as it may be.[/color]

I really like this poem man/woman, whoever you may be...  I love the end about lifting up your spirit in joy peace and love.  Imperfection is beauty! yah! Jah!  Haha... I like to think about how no two leaves on a tree are the same, just like no two human minds are the same, no one is perfect, but together who knows what we can accomplish.  Jah knows all.  Since we're all different and no one is perfect we're all awesome yah?  Every different mind can see from its own perspective, and every perspective is beauty.  Hatred and evil come from a refusal to admit your own perspective.  I am doing a little assuming here, but because i think everyone is beautiful and different, even the haters are loved here.  When you see yourself through the eyes of Jah you feel the love and you really that Jah loves all equally for his love is the strongest love there is.  When you see yourself through the eyes of man we all have a tendency to judge what they think of us.  This here will lead to insecurity.  All Jah wants us to do is be who we are and express our love of humanity and also of all living and non living phenomena.  JAH Bless, and keep up the good writing.
