Bernard Chan Poet Rhyme

A Potpourri of Sins

I have known the temptation
of a train of impure thought, 
and the tranquillity of virtue 
that can’t be with lucre bought. 

I’ve coveted riches not mine
with the stealth of impropriety, 
and rejoiced in the righteousness
of a random act of charity. 

I hide the stains of offenses  
which the Ganges cannot rinse, 
I’ve tasted the milk of goodness
and sniffed a potpourri of sins.
