Frailties
FRAILTIES
Greedy, vain, pompous,
Lying, cheating, villainous
I am all these things - be admonished
I am guilty - should be punished
Human nature is not what it seems
Real life is different to dreams
Ideal people do not exist
Temptation is too hard to resist.
Human weaknesses, inadequacies
- And all of my frailities -
Are listed without end
In Bible and Koran,
In Bhagavad Gita and Analects -
I am imperfect.
Weakness is not just in man or woman
My main frailty is that I am human.
