Ordinary is a blessing
they say
the boughs that bear most hang lowest
you only see the fruit hanging low
never think of the stress on the arched back
trust me
ordinary is a blessing
no it is neither a case
of ungrateful
nor of the insatiable human nature
but an observation
just look
at any gifted
creative genius
struggling at
not fitting in
flawed is not for humans
it is a term for objects
for humans are simply
humans
with all their inherent 'qualities'
so to expect a human
to be flawless
is foolhardy
yet
you expect
the gifted to be
above failure
you couldn't be more human
the boughs that bear most hang lowest
you only see the fruit hanging low
never think of the stress on the arched back
trust me
ordinary is a blessing
no it is neither a case
of ungrateful
nor of the insatiable human nature

This entire write struck me and made me breathe deeper with each stanza and smile. This stanza though...solid platinum truth!
"flawed is not for humans
it is a term for objects
for humans are simply
humans
with all their inherent 'qualities' "

I'd better be careful what I say but this is one of the best poems I have read in my short time as a member of DUP.
