Sins which we are
What am I?
A fruitful comrade?
A terrible lie?
And if so, how bad?
I lie awake at night,
Lost in thought,
Troubled by fright,
My stomach in a knot,
Because,
If we are all unjustified
Destined to hell
Blossomed in pride,
With our breasts full of swell,
Swelling with sin
Sin which we nurture
Sin which we bath in
Sin which is our future
Sin which is our past
Sin which we are
Without a glance downcast
Thinking we will travel so far
Only to stay put
And die young
Under someone's else's foot
Still with a double tongue.
So I lie to me
You lie to you.
Sins spread feathery
And feelings deepened blue.
We are sin
We are lies
We are thick skinned
We are goodbyes
We are destined to hell
In which we already live
With our lies in which we dwell
Forgetting how to forgive.
So
Goodnight
And sleep tight.
Good luck
And stay unstuck.

Interesting poem. I happen to think sin is important. Often, the worse the better. If it weren't for sins like indulgence we wouldn't have so many beautifult writings such as Bukowski and Hunter Thompson. Anyway, a well written piece. The only problem i saw is that part regarding 'destined to hell in which we already live' How can u be going somewhere u already are? Unless this was intentional? Nice piece overall though.
