Perfect Again

O

The incredible arrogance of man

Has he mouth but not ears

That he can speak yet not hear himself

​

Being learned of the world

O'er the years

He finds fault

In those giants

​

Impeaches the shoulders

Upon which all stand

In the same breath

Proclaims truth absolute

​

Harken says he

"A new revelation

To perfect the perfect

Add to that which is complete"

​

Forebears now are flawed

Their precepts suspect

Blessed in his own eyes

Is he who progresses

​

Revolution sweeps the streets

Wisdom suddenly perverse

Brilliance of the past

Tarnished overnight

​

Now finally

Nothing can remain unknown

Knowledge and morality

Perfect again
