New Poem: "There Is One Sin"

There Is One Sin

There is one sin

that no one can speak of,

or even dare to think; a sin

so vile that even nature

shudders.

So deeply engrained is

this sin that no one can trace

where it came from, neither

scientist nor theologian.

Like a ghost, either male

or female, this sin imprisons

the soul and makes its new

body home;

And the body sins and sins

and sins without ceasing;

but all the guilt of sinning

kills soul’s love of self,

and God, —

And the rest is commentary.
