Repentence Poem by wardha jawdat

Repentence

Rating: 2.7


Every man must bear his cross
And walk the road to perdition alone
Let us pray that the cross be wooden
And the road short,
For man is a vile creature
Who sins with fervor
And repents at leisure
And wishes that the crimes be punished
So that the guilt be assuaged,
But also that the punishment be mild
So that the lessons learnt be forgotten;
And the urge to err
Be forever young.

A marveleous piece; Man is such a fickle creature, mostly blind to the Love and ways of God; you've captured the erroneous mindset wonderfully!
