once upon perfection

Thanks Andrea, shame this one was taken out of all proportion and overspilled into some comment threads, cheers David

Wise words Duke, most of my posts are built around the premise of perception and how reality differs from one person to the next, we are very lucky to have this planet, as we don’t have a replacement lined up if all goes to hell, thanks again for stopping by and perceiving this paradoxical one in good light, cheers David

Never is such harassment a threat to you. The fact that he tries is ridiculous. I was thinking of all the poets who would rather enjoy your poetry and comments without being exposed to religious diatribes.

Thanks Lin but there’s certainly no threat to me, however I could see how a person with thinner skin might be intimidated by such behaviour, for expressing themselves into a poem, :)

Yes I certainly understand the distaste left in the mouth when religion is shoved down one's throat. I left organised religion completely after years if it as a pre teen. I could go on for hours with what my beliefs are but I don't want to be a bore. Lol

High praise Sara, you certainly see these Monoku’s exactly for what they are, non offensive and oxymoronic in nature, had enough of religious dogma being shoved down my throat in school, using corporal punishment, cheers David

Heya Jan, People can preach from the highest mountains if they want, so long as they don’t try ramming it down my throat, that soap box is certainly starting to look very slippery and slimy today! Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Indeed Tom, perfection and mortality are incompatible by their very own definition, we can only do our best until we become (deviants) as the same commenter above and two places below seems to think! Cheers David

Thanks Lin for clarifying that point, Jesus never tried to ram anything down his followers throats, he preached to those who wanted to listen just like you said, just because I am agnostic doesn’t mean I believe Jesus was not a cool guy, my monoku never mentioned any religion in particular, that was just assumed by an opportunist that wanted to put his own twisted version of his beliefs across, as you said flying in the face of the organisation he claims to represent, thank you so much for pointing that out, cheers David

Heya Paula, glad you enjoyed this one, the game of life has so many twists and turns going on; unfortunately I don’t think there’s any (perfectly) fitting contests going on for this piece, cheers David
