Hullabaloo About Sin


Hullabaloo about sin

To our soul's chagrin,
Adam and Eve's sin,
as man's fall from grace,
shrouds us in disgrace.

Biblical concept,
translation inept,
causes us to wilt
and shrivel in guilt.

Oh dear hearts, know this,
soul's love, light and bliss.
We're free like a bird,
forged from God's first Word.

Eristics dispute,
pastors substitute,
what's meant to be said ~
let's be by love led.

All that's happened is,
we've made life a quiz,
head and heart discord,
distanced from The Lord.

Fine! We lost our way,
desires made us sway
but in time we learnt
and ego chaff burnt.

There's no need to fear,
for God is so near,
in-dwelling our form,
felt as a bliss swarm.

We forgive our child,
tempestuous, wild,
so God does likewise,
for He's far more wise.

We're asked to align
with love throbs divine.
Let's do so in play,
through each night and day.

Forget about sin.
Go in now, go in
and reclaim the light,
shining within bright!

I really cannot get my head around the concept of original sin seeker, just doesn’t fit into any rationale for me anyway, what purpose would it serve any omnipotent God, another wonderful poem challenging dogmatic beliefs, cheers David

A contest was started on this theme and I immediately penned this poem ~ the words just flowed! Then I saw that the contest was withdrawn! I’m not really challenging any beliefs but perhaps the scriptures have been distorted. I can’t imagine a God who we should fear or an imagined sin we should be guilty about. If someone’s lost, just give him a roadmap!
