Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

There Was Born Only One Perfect Human

To write in a 'poem' that one is perfect
and worse yet, made that way by God
is to be guilty of arrogant disrespect
when it's yourself you praise and laud.

A humble person, who is mild and meek
would never pen something so absurd
and risk insulting God... His anger pique.
Such a person belongs in a swineherd.

It was only Jesus Christ, born of Mary,
God's begotten Son, the only perfect human.
Of one who contradicts that, be wary.
Such a person lacks humility and acumen.

John Watt November 16, 2021 at 4:52 PM Jenna, I appreciate how you highlighted the perfect life of Jesus in contrast to everybody else being less than perfect. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. At least we have the hope of being made perfect after our life on earth is over. Well crafted poetry, as always. A very belated congrats on your POTD, my friend. Jenna Logan November 21, 2021 at 3:39 AM Thank you, John. Forgive me for not seeing your wonderful comments sooner.

Gershon Wolf October 29, 2021 at 7:55 AM Looking at the lighter side of Perfection for a moment, here's a little anecdote: Son: Aw, Mom, do I have to practice the violin today?! It's gorgeous outside. Mom: Now, Jacob, you know that 'Practice makes Perfect!' Son: But who wants to be 'perfect,' Mom?!... Congrats on POTD, Jenna. Smiles, Gershon Jenna Logan October 29, 2021 at 9:03 AM Thanks for the congrats, Gershon. There will be no perfect humans born to man until God keeps His promise of restoring the Earth and mankind to perfection. That's something worth living forever.

Tania Kitchin October 27, 2021 at 3:10 PM Congratulations Jenna on POTD! Jenna Logan October 28, 2021 at 1:02 AM Thanks every so much, Tania.

Gordon Mcconnell October 27, 2021 at 2:02 PM Great piece Jenna proclaiming the truth and congrats on being POTD, well done! Jesus alone is perfect for as the scripture says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God bless you, Gordon Jenna Logan October 28, 2021 at 12:59 AM Thank you very much for being supportive, Gordon.

Connie Marcum Wong October 27, 2021 at 8:39 AM I believe our imperfections are the reason we are here to learn and grow. Though we are all perfect in the eyes of God and maybe what they meant? I haven’t seen what you are referring to. Humility is the first step toward seeking a closer connection with God no matter what religion a person belongs to IMHO. I understand where you are coming from. Congratulations on your POTD honor. Blessings xxoo Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 9:53 AM I wrote this in reference to a poem posted yesterday by one who believes she is perfect. God cherishes a humble heart, not one who already thinks she is perfect. We all have flaws. Thanks for your kind comments, Connie.

Ann Peck October 27, 2021 at 8:26 AM Congratulations on POTD! Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 9:52 AM Thank you, Ann.

Joseph May October 27, 2021 at 7:53 AM Hope that write was fiction, Congrats on POTD Jenna Jenna Logan October 28, 2021 at 12:20 AM ah, I see. I honestly don't understand her mindset on anything. Thanks for clarifying. Joseph May October 27, 2021 at 4:53 PM Hi Jenna, I did not mean your write, I meant hers Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 9:50 AM No, Joseph. I wrote it in response to a certain poetess who penned a line in her poem yesterday which stated that she was perfect and that God made her that way. Thanks for the congrats.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart October 27, 2021 at 7:02 AM Congratulations on POTD Jenna! I’m a panpsychist with buddhist and pagan leanings but Jesus built my moral code. Your poem for me highlights the difference between being perfectly human and being a perfect human being, something we should all aspire to, regardless of the path. xomo Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 9:49 AM Thanks, Mo. I had to look that one up since I only knew it had something to do with philosophy. Your comments are always a welcome sight.

Mark Koplin October 27, 2021 at 5:59 AM Congratulations on potd Jenna!! I love when poems send a good message. Well done my friend! Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 9:47 AM Thanks, Mark, and whether or not the person it was aimed at read it, I still felt the need to state that no human is perfect.

Charles Messina October 27, 2021 at 4:27 AM One who judges him/herself as perfection only proves how imperfect they really are (lol). Great write, Jenna. Congrats on POTD. Hugs Charlie Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 9:46 AM Hi Charlie, and I agree with you. Thanks so much for the congrats.

David Kavanagh October 27, 2021 at 1:30 AM Back with congrats on potd Jenna, I'm agnostic myself, but no matter what way I look at this one, I reach the same conclusion We all are born with imperfection, cheers David Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 4:20 AM Indeedy do, we are, David. Thanks for stopping by again.

Jan Allison October 27, 2021 at 1:16 AM Dropping back with many congrats on POTD:-) hugs Jan xx Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 4:20 AM I'm grateful for your return and congrats, Jan. Thanks.

Victor Buhagiar October 27, 2021 at 1:11 AM A human who says he's perfect sins against the Holy God. Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 4:19 AM Thanks, Victor.

Tom Cunningham October 27, 2021 at 12:34 AM Back with congratulations Jenna on POTD, a well deserved honour. Tom Jenna Logan October 27, 2021 at 4:18 AM Thanks for the good morning call, town crier! I appreciate your 'johnny on the spot' news, Tom.

David Kavanagh October 26, 2021 at 3:05 PM What do they mean Jenna, we're all born Imperfect, like everyone else on this planet, anyone that thinks themselves perfect is getting into dangerous solipsistic territory, cheers David Jenna Logan October 26, 2021 at 5:57 PM Only a person who is self-centered would write such drivel, David. Thank you for realizing the truth; that we are all imperfect beings.

Constance La France October 26, 2021 at 2:38 PM Jenna, wonderful write, and I agree with you that only Jesus, born of Mary is perfect ~ love and serenity _Constance Jenna Logan October 26, 2021 at 3:01 PM Thank you, Constance. I'm grateful for your comments.

Tom Cunningham October 26, 2021 at 12:31 PM Created in his image but not one of us is perfect, far from it as we all have our faults. Tom Jenna Logan October 26, 2021 at 12:34 PM We certainly do, Tom. Thanks for visiting!!

Mark Koplin October 26, 2021 at 12:14 PM I agree, there has been only one perfect human and it isn’t anybody writing poetry on this site. Jenna Logan October 26, 2021 at 12:26 PM That's one thing I love about you, Mark. You don't beat around the bush and point a finger at the culprit(s). Thanks!

Jan Allison October 26, 2021 at 8:59 AM I am far from a religious person, but I can't agree with you more, well said Jenna:-) hugs Jan xx Jenna Logan October 26, 2021 at 9:13 AM Thank you for supporting my beliefs, Jan, even if they're not your own.

Joanna Daniel October 26, 2021 at 7:36 AM I agree with you, Jenna, Lord Jesus Christ was the perfect human and at the same time fully God:) Jenna Logan October 26, 2021 at 9:11 AM Thank you for your comments, Jo. However, I do not believe that Jesus and God are one and the same. If that were true, why would Jesus say he'd be seated at the right hand of his father? That would mean he could sit next to himself. Also, he'd not have asked himself in the Book of Matthew, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" The Trinity Doctrine is something I don't hold as truth.
