I Sink In Your Sins Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

I Sink In Your Sins

Rating: 5.0


At the altar, you shout
"you sinned, you sinned
no salvation for you,
should you confess, repent
but expect no forgiveness."

your unholy cossack ruffles,
a tiny meek voice it stifles,
I sinned keeping my eyes shut
I sink in your sins!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poet's Note: The ugliness of priestshood reveals itself. They preach still. The paedophiles, though a minuscule minority, it stinks.

Hypocrisy of the self-righteous is exposed brilliantly. Bravo!

Essentially, ‘self-righteousness' is human character. Especially, those who have many skeletons hidden in their cupboards. Thank You, Nosheen.

It is but a minuscule minority who are corrupt, Evelyn. But, I am pained because they misuse the religious and spiritual powers they wield over the victims to exploit them.

As a Catholic, it enrages me to know the extent of damage that that miniscule minority has done to our religion. And the gall of their superiors to sweep it under the rug! Totally reprehensible! Poet Menon, your total disgust is brilliantly conveyed in this very meaningful poem.
