Sin Ii Poem by Kwame Sarfo Aboagye

Oh my dear God everlasting,
What you want from me I know:
Helping the needy, praying and fasting,
With a heart as white as snow.
But is that what I do? I ask.
Do I even make the effort,
When sin is my only escort
And religion is but a mask?
How difficult it is to turn
When sin is directing my path!
How easy it is to burn
When I run out of time and into your wrath!
Why then do I still live this way,
Knowing here is not where I’ll forever stay?
