Don’t seek perfection in a world of deception, a place of test for he and she. If God intended for man perfection, no mortal being will disagree.
For every time you feel rejection, only the truth will set you free. And when you tread in wrong direction, your path will lead to misery.
So be alarmed, request protection, from every evil in you and me. Extend your hand and attempt connection, don't hesitate to make a plea.
For every action that causes friction, will wear our bond and kill our glee.

Be wisely friendly by showing affection,
Create in no mind any deadly infection,
If needed, give with concern protection,
If you can't, accept it without hesitation,
Don't make foolishly a wrong derivation,
From mind, let enmity suffer deletion,

and those who read it would have to admit,
it was far better than they'd ever do.
But in the end I'd rather write something
