THE FLAW IN PERFECTION So Ive been thinking again... It looks like naturally, There must necessarily be a flaw in perfection To make reality happen And the deeper I think about the idealest possible conditions prevailing in a certain situation, The sooner I arrive at this realization Take friction; The smoothest possible surface will make walking impossible Same with grinding in a crucible And the Law of universal gravitation; Without this flaw, this restriction, We may as well have gone into extinction So it seems with sin? Pardon my line of thinking-- The hastiness in my generalization-- But I know Im not mistaking, When I say we are all susceptible to sinning And notwithstanding the amount of good we do to cover it, We only succeed in highlighting it Its almost as if we cannot do without it Christians tell us we are the Creators very reflection Or at least, that that was His intention for us during our creation But then the epilogue to the story in Eden ended with our fall A fall of the very mirror which reflected Gods perfection in our being The consequence of our rebellion-- When we sought to stretch our height to His When we got lost in the deceit in the serpents hiss The trick is old, but it always sticks Dangle the carrot of knowledge in front of the rabbit And hed grab it! He wants to play God, doesnt he? Sweet coat that deceit with a line about modernization, Instead of immorality, tell him its Westernization And its effect, eye-opening We never learn, do we? It happened in Eden, and its happening again The eating of the fruit utterly forbidden That rebellion, Its consequence was eye-opening alright One that led to the enslavement of humanity in sin But will we ever learn our lesson??
