I am Human after all!

I have my moments of rage,
I may appear as the son of perdition sometimes,
I am really really sorry to torment your soul that way.
No, this is because within the constitution of my being,
There lies deeply rooted a feeling of heavenly beauty and perfection.
It is this that I pine for, that the world maybe as I feel and see it inside.
When I revolt -- something I will do now in and then, time after time;
I am only dismayed by what I see outside.
I can not come to terms with the outside,
I feel besieged by all this reality outside.
May I be forgiven for I am only human after all.
Ah! did you not hear that,
even the Son of Man turned the tables at the temple?
Don't you think He too was dismayed at the contrast.
The contrast of the inner beauty and perfections
and the outer ugly and inequities in the midst?
