# Blackslide # Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

I for one have faith quite strong

In the Lord above I can't go wrong

Amidst adversities I just kneel to pray

Ask God for guidance so I can't go astray



Yet as human I am not perfect

Temptations insist I can't detect

That sometimes I just found lost

And weary that my faith can't boost



So at times when I become confused

My heart and mind are seemed diffused

That I succumb to imperfection on my action

Later I found myself driven to loss my devotion



I become someone who losses grip

On my faith every time trespasses slip

That I forget to call upon the Almighty

Which makes me a backslider and filthy
