22: Imperfection Bears Stupidity

Imperfect beings we are.
Sinful beings are we.
Bound to commit stupid acts;
Albeit the caution and safety
Exercised by most of us.

Shame we feel at first.
Embarrassment following its heels.
Depression closely following by.
Strength, will, determination
And perseverance we need
To overcome these negative feelings
Brought by stupidity,
Stupidity borne by imperfection.

Come now my friend.
Don't be depressed.
It's not solely your fault.
Lay blame on imperfection
For bearing stupidity into us all.
Nay can do for now.
Let time be your friend
In this dark hours of you.
In time we hope all will go back
To normal as can be.

Smile my dear friend.
Be strong and determined
As a surging water current.
Be as calm as the deep river
That runs so silent.
Yet be as patient as a hunter.
Cause time takes quite a while
To work it's magic.




(for my friend Janice Grace H. Francisco)
