I've yet to meet one who is perfect most of us are flawed in some way <br />Though some of us more flawed than others of what is obvious I only do say <br />Suppose we are not meant to be perfect a perfect one would be a living saint <br />Most of us corrupted in some way even most of the good have some character taint <br />The Human World is success driven to greatness so many to do aspire <br />Suppose it says something about us the people we choose to admire <br />Truly great people devote their lives to helping others without thought of self or renown <br />Such people are not looked on as heroes not even in their own Hometown <br />True heroes work in refugees camps helping those of the lesser god <br />The war victims of drought ravaged Lands the Stateless and Homeless and downtrod <br />The people who help them great people they work for them without honour or pay <br />Yet they remain as the unsung heroes of our Human World of today <br />I've yet to meet one who is perfect though a minority less flawed than most <br />Yet the true heroes remain as unsung and to them I do propose a toast.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ve-yet-to-meet-one-who-is-perfect/
