Flaws

 

What to change
Corruption? Violence? Greed? 
But look to the core of these flaws
 
Human nature. 
 
We are the cause of our problems
There is no other to blame but ourselves
So if I was to change anything it would be the flawed nature of humans. 
 
People dream of perfect societies, 
They blame organized religion and the government
But unless we reflect on ourselves 
No change will ever come. 
 
Nobody is a perfect human
It’s a paradox
A lie
There is no such thing
We can never have ‘no judgment’ for a friend
We just do not let these affect our actions. 
 
But without our flaws what would we be?
