Songs From The Age Of Human Error by Kerry Jackson-Kay<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0If having all the answers means no longer asking questions
\nThen wisdom’s not all it’s crack up to be
\nSmelting down the infinite for a sword and shield of truth
\nIn a citadel of desperate certainty
\nNever let fear of being wrong confine you in any way
\nWhat’s a little confusion amongst friends?
\nI hope the age of human error never ends<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Self-consciously defending a guilt-edged silver throne
\nNo empire ever rose that never fell
\nBut the path of human progress is no game of zero sum
\nAnd superiority suits no-one well
\nNever let position of privilege confine you in any way
\nPride loses more than it defends
\nI hope the age of human error never ends<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fantasise of what we might be
\nRealise it’s not wrong to dream
\nIt never is to late to make amends
\nI hope the age of human error never ends<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you dream about tomorrow you must pay for it today
\nAnd those dreams about tomorrow may still up and fly away
\nWhile the cost of never living is to simply never try until you die
\nBetter to have failed and tried again
\nI hope the age of human error never ends<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Never let fear of anything confine you in any way
\nIt never is to late to make amends
\nI hope the age of human error never ends<\/div>\n

The title for this came from a quote by the American journalist Florence King, who wrote, “People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they’re all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error”.\u00a0\u00a0 My response to this is, who says living in the Age Of Human Error is a bad thing?\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

If fear of making mistakes is stopping you from dreaming, that doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes.\u00a0 It just means you’ll deny them when you do.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
