Being Human

A golden made tank but with a small leak among one’s nature’s crew, mistakes still speak speed of perfection is slow on morals, will always owe on a board so white a faint ink can sneak.

The painful strive for perfection, never attained. Why then should we strive? Thoughtful write mate, really gets the grey matter turning.

We all make mistakes as that quest for perfection is so difficult to achieve. Nicely done.

That is a very deep limerick... I am not completely sure if I understand it correctly, but you speak about human's imperfect nature, where the smallest perfection shows... And we never reach perfection.
