Is it

Is it a sin to lie back and enjoy a daiquiri

Clubbing in style, while homeless people shiver

Warmth fading from bones which haven't laid back

On downy silk, hand embroidered sheets, monogrammed

Ever

Watching worlds crumble on television sets

Better you than I.

The media's role is to spread disquiet by reporting worldwide atrocity.

One can only be infected with guilt if one feels susceptible to such coverage.

Yes, it is a sin.
I take 'sin' to mean something between a mistake and a bad thing.
There are much better ways of organising ourselves on this planet. Failing to do the better things constitutes a sin.
I understand everyone must enjoy their brief life and it seems I must understand everyone is a sinner; not believing in God helps.
