Guilt Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Honest mistake is still a mistake
often people rationalize to justify
none of course can erase the fact
even if wound heals but scar stays
symbolizes the guilt that prevails
thus prove that man is not perfect.

Many people profess to be good
in their hearts thrives being bad
singing songs loud in out of tune
tingling conscience with shame
and holding still in solemn slumber
kiss of denial only prolongs agony
enhancing the guilt even greater.
