Poem: Pursuing Perfection

Share this article:

Since this does not require it done with some affection,
Nor do we have to look at it with some reflection,
I guess it’s all right if we try to seek perfection.
The trouble is, all efforts will require inspection
Most likely always seeing changes in direction.
Most likely, also, we’ll have trouble in selection;
Each one of us insistent on his own perspection.
On top of that, each given point will have inflection,
Thus then allowing many points avoid detection.
It can be found in Nature though without deflection;
So you would think we’d seek to give it some protection.
We don’t, you see, because we are blind to perfection.
