What is a perfect human, one who cannot speak, a word of opinion

Cannot hear how strange others sound

Have no eyes to see how loathful the world truly is, how slothful it has became 

Lost the ability to smell the roses in the morning

Taste nothing but the soil they were buried in

Yes a perfect human is pretty simple to find

Though they may not have much to say

And they may not be able to tell you where to find a place to find coffee at an odd hour

They may not be able to hang around much

But they certainly had been places, and seen many eventful things

And unlike the average human being, they have at least lived

And found the meaning, which is nothing less then a short lived memory

A tombstone speaks more then a life has to say
