Perfection   

       is a term   

       that describes –   

       in part –   

       the delightful, guiltless and well-informed.   

Everything   

       isn’t perfect.   

Reality   

       isn’t skewed   

       by solipsistic cognitive reframing   

       to the contrary.  

For evidence   

       of imperfection,   

       one need only recall   

       one holocaust   

       or another.   

Evils   

       done by humans   

       are obviously imperfect.   

Compassionate and conscious efforts   

       to right wrongs   

       approach perfection.   

Tautology   

       using spiritual posturing   

       minimising crimes   

       is gaslighting.   

Ignorance –   

       feigned or otherwise –   

       may be at cause,   

       but it’s no real excuse.   

Ordinary common sense   

       is a fitting moral compass.   

No more   

       may need to be said   

       (but much more   

       will be).
