SINNING AIN'T THAT BAD

I sinned today
I blasphemed against
All the concepts inherent
In the supremacy of the soul
And the crowning glory of the afterlife

I asked questions
And delved into my psyche
Where I found conundrums
That fatally wound my conscience
I decided to set myself free
Free of shackles imposed by dogma
That is irrelevant to
My innate sense of fraternity

I am relieved that I can now
Think of the here and now
And of me
And not of outdated philosophy

Now I am untethered
And my soul has topical value
With a limited finite lifespan
I can cherish the day I live
And worry not about
The ghost of sins past
That torment me
And which have no sense of honesty

I will rejoice
In the peace of
My new felt sensitivity
To humanity that surrounds me
And my ability to grasp new concepts
Of life
That now do not exclude me

I am becoming a saint
That walks and breathes
And who understands
Life’s meaningless complexities
That once disastrously
Decimated society

It feels good now that sin has
Comfortingly enveloped me
I can do as I do
And let the demons
Of another world abandon me
I am after all
Able to love me
