For being me, am I not nothing less than I am?

For being fair, am I not nothing less than a man?
For being honest, do I not deserve at least the truth?
For being wise, am I not nothing less than absolute?
 
For being unbiased, am I not nothing less than just?
For being trustful, do I not deserve anymore trust?
For me being who I am, while you are who you are,
Can we not agree to let everyone be who they are?
 
But, for me being me, and for me being human, can I not make mistakes?
Can we not ALL agree that we give what we give and take what we take; 
That we do and are as we are,
And what's done us is gone... and very far?
