It Is a Crime

It’s a crime
if my education and social status make me egotist and entice to humiliate others

It's a crime 
if I wear the mask of modesty rearing immodesty inside  

It's a crime 
if I call and show others the pious path making self only convener  

It's a crime 
for donating to religious works I earn money illegal ways 

It's a crime 
when I make me a pilgrim to holy religion places 
and after returning I become desperate to take previous revenge

it’s a crime 
for a particular religion or belief hating another religion or belief
and for the sake of certain religions avoiding universal humanity 

It's a big crime 
for recurring misdeeds if I ask forgiveness again and again
