Can There Be A Poem On A Day Of Sin? Poem by Shalom Freedman

Can There Be A Poem On A Day Of Sin?



CAN THERE BE A POEM ON A DAY OF SIN?

Can there be a poem on a day of sin?
Can there be a poem of self- disgust?
Can self- hatred and failure
Sing?

The world has such beauty and such light-
But in me now only
The darkness of all my own failures to see-

How better I could have been-
And kinder had I known-
But the person is gone-
And my kindness
Will never be.
