We Seek Perfection

With dreams that we build

With thoughts that are so skilled

We seek perfection

With ideas that we trace

With warmth that we embrace

We seek perfection

With words that we choose

With no thoughts to the truth

We seek perfection 

We seek perfection in our lives

Perfection in all our tries

We seek perfection

It’s drilled into our minds

It’s drilled into our times

It is drilled into all our rhymes

In all we do

In all we see

We seek proof

That we are meant to be

More than we are

More than we are

Our thoughts

Our dreams 

Reduced 

In nature’s fashion

We seek perfection

We seek perfection

Until nature

Takes its toll
