Perfection

They say practice makes perfect
                                                but none can be perfect
                                                what then is the need of practice
                                                if none can attain perfection?

                                            Perfection is a state of the mind
                                                achieved when ability beats work
                                                but not overlooking the debris of leftovers
                                                perfection is unattainable.

                                            All work and no play
                                                makes one think he is better than another
                                                but perfection is still ahead of man
                                                even after he falls down exhausted.

                                            Man is imperfect
                                                when he thinks he is perfect
                                                for man can never be perfect
                                                as long as God sees him imperfect.
