Angels Loathe Contrived Perfection

No angels on Earth For dreamers and screamers to find Whether they lose or catch their breath Lost in deep recesses of the mind Teeming with fantasies Where fairies toe a perfect line Drawn in sentimental seas Where their unicorns decline Cooking perfect meals Observing sublime etiquette Clinching integrity deals Won on a truth ticket That frowns on human frailties Blemishes in character Flaws, foibles and fragilities Inherent in every human sector and vector In which the human mind perceives a mirage Conjuring up images of snow white angels Whose main purpose serves to sabotage Any whiff of weakness sent to imperfections jails Dreamers create as they indulge in self delusion In Utopia where perfection reigns supreme And a fusion of illusion and transition Ensure dreamers blame Men and women who don’t conform To Stereotypes They form In insane minds that refuse to reform Their misconceptions About merits and demerits of reality Married to laudable perceptions In which human foibles outperform the convoluted fragility That sweeps the acceptance of imperfection Under a shame carpet Away from any section That builds castles in the air and pampers paper tigers in a Trojan puppet.
