Perfection

Yep, it's just like I mentioned in the tittle
we all strive for it whether we
want to admit it or not
we all tried to be perfect 
at one point in our life
whether it was trying to be
the perfect mate
the perfect lover or 
the perfect athlete
we all tried to be
perfect at one point in our life
I'll be the first to admit it
since no one else will
yes, I tried to be perfect 
but I found out that it was
impossible so I stop pursing it
but others keep going trying to 
become perfect in many ways
they went to the extreme
in their quest for it
they altered their bodies
in an attempt to become it
while others sold their souls
to the devil to become it
but still they could not become it
only one man became what they could not
only one man could become perfect 
and his name is Jesus of Narzerth 
he is the only living person 
to reach perfection
he is the truth
the way and 
the light and
through him all things are possible
the doors he opens no man can close
and the doors he closes no man can open
Jesus is perfection and 
perfection is him
now you want to know how
he became what you could not
sorry I don't have the answer 
to that question that is something 
that you are going to have to ask him 
when you see him, that is if you 
are able to make it there
