For I Have Sinned

Forgive me 
For I have sinned in my tenacity 
to challenge you on the battlefield of morality. 

Forgive me 
For offending your duplicity 
with my transparency. 

Forgive me 
While you carouse with your unquenchable lies                                                
For I have sinned in uttering such prayerful reprise.
 
Forgive me 
“Great One”, clothed in your honorable disguise                                            
For I have sinned to not fall prey to your beguiles.
