sin

Sin
Sin is so subtle
Like that ice cream sundae
You shouldn’t eat
Like lying in the blistering sun to long
Like talking to a salesman on the phone
It comes to you usually when
You’ve just had a victorious day
You’re high on life then sin
Offers you a spike that will
Take you all the way to heaven
And back again
It promises you liberation
Whilst plotting your ruin
Your health, your wealth and your reputation
Your dignity, integrity, leaving you in shame.
I was alive once in ignorance
Ignorant to the devastation of sin
I didn’t think that what I was doing
Would create disharmony and pain
It seemed innocent a way of life
A rite of passage that we all have to go through
I’m an adult now and everything is legal
Even my viewing of scantily clad girls
The whole world is under its sway
Not a soul gets out alive
Every soul is a battle field
Atheist, Muslim, Christian
Children, woman and man
So subtle is its face
You could be excused to think it a friend
Whilst deep below the exterior
Is a fiend waiting to get in
I find myself falling and falling
Never hitting the ground
Shards of glass stick in me
Like needles I feel there sting
Who will rescue me
From this painful body of death
I try and read my bible
But succumb to another test
If Adam and eve where made perfect
Why the hell did they fall into sin?
They could have made a fruit cocktail
Without the fruit from the tree
Which would cause eternal shame
The devil apparently was the first to fall
As he coveted the crown of God
His pride blinded his perfection
And evil sort refuge in his heart
So now I see the dichotomy
How to be good and perfect in a wicked world
I love people dearly
But hate the evil in their hearts
No pointing fingers
It’s in me too
It’s a curse mankind shares and bares
A mind that want to do the utmost good
Whilst his nature is
Corrupted beyond repair.

Such an interesting topic,
Such an interesting topic, you lay out its complexities for us to think about. I'll mull over this all day.
