Repentance
What a hellish life it is!
Happiness, a mirage we long for
All try but only a few succeed
Broken, frustrated left for hovering
Between present despair and hope.
The days we are hoping for
Never tread the tender heart
Only the shadow of sorrow
Is brighter on gloomy face
To show the life, the thorny path
God has created for His amusement.
Life is a penance, repentance
Over what Man did in Eden-
By disobeying God.
