Perfectly Fallible
Perfectly Fallible
we are
The living poems preached
with every dying breath
Of God's ego
(we are
Yah's ego deaths
morphed-
and like clay,
these vessel
continue to bend
and
twist
and
fold
under the fires
spat by the Sun
and eventually,
like shells we harden
into these beautiful mistakes
that God had to make
in order
to be
Perfect.)
-Kelechi Vuyo Eze Yedwa
About this poem
This poem is about the collective consciousness and how God or the higher power is in comparison to humanity. It explores the theory of this Infinite being experiencing death through Us and still loving us wholly and infinitely because we are these vessel that God will always boast about creating, even though we are far from perfect.
