Betim Muco Poet Light Verse

Imperfection

Stars 
Mute ancient witnesses 
Deep in a universe where the magic of matter is made
With your Cyclopean eyes 
You saw how Earth’s inhabitants grew 
How we evolved and stood up on our feet
Turning grunts into speech
Paws into hands
How fire amazed us
And the wheel
And the secrets of atoms

I am asking you, stars
Have we humans become so perfect 
That we are able to see our imperfections?
