M. L. Kiser Poet Haibun

Nothing Perfect

They say that, “computers don’t make mistakes”; it boggles the mind how the same intellect that creates the computers, makes mistakes.  How can imperfect minds, create a, perfect machine?  They can’t, the human ego is the greatest deceiver; it feeds the human minds cravings with fake food.  Driverless vehicles kill, pilotless planes crash more often.  Computers, satellites, HDTV’s phones connected to satellites, fail.  When will the human species admit we’re not God?

Even nature’s not
Perfect, her children are born
With limitations.

Rings in the trees are
Off-centered, imperfect; joints
Gnarled…arthritic.

P.S. Awtry February 1, 2019 at 4:10 PM Excellent logic! I agree whole heartedly. The fallacy that the fallible might create infallible.... I am boggled! M. L. Kiser February 2, 2019 at 4:28 PM It's everywhere; thanks.

Michelle Faulkner January 31, 2019 at 1:47 PM So true, to rely on computers as infallible is asking for disaster, just trying to follow my GPS has taught me that! M. L. Kiser January 31, 2019 at 5:52 PM Thanks Michelle; technology is great and sometimes fun but, when we fail to realize that it's not fail proof, we're going to get into trouble. I just wish so many more people would realize it.

Rhona Mcferran January 30, 2019 at 7:46 PM Very, very TRUE! Great write, ML! ;) M. L. Kiser January 31, 2019 at 5:52 PM Thanks so much, Rhona; am glad you stopped by.

Caren Krutsinger January 30, 2019 at 6:36 AM M.L., we are way too God-like and haughty to think we are not perfect. Have you met enough humans yet? I am thinking you need to get out there. This poem is perfect my friend! It reveals us. M. L. Kiser January 31, 2019 at 5:55 PM Every day of my life, I meet someone who does or says something that reminds me of Shakespeare's, "Puck" when he said, "Lord, what fools these mortals be!" My next thought..."oh God, please don't let me be like that!"
