Saints and Sinners

Saints and sinners may spout opposite views
that at certain times, they believe are true,
yet always a forthcoming sinner, do choose,
over saints who deny their booze and screws.

With the sinners, you know what to expect.
Saints may harm you with their own regret.
Sinners may delight with newly realized joys,
but saints may shock when found with boys.

In truth, saints and sinners walk along as one
for together they stroll when acts are done.
Saints will serve until their servings through,
then as sinner act with their sinning to do.

Together they blend life’s many strifes
with the goodness they have found in life.
Know that a passion for aiding humanity
often requires some sin-escape for sanity.

Always look for an authentic soul recipe
of saint plus sinner mixed with human need.
Pour out a majority of fresh grown saint weed
and add just a pinch of bottled sinner seed.

LOL This made me smile Cay Cay. I am indeed a born again Christian but I know that I am no better than my neighbor. I'm too busy trying to clean up my own act to worry about somebody else. Great job here./ Loved it. God Bless, JB

I love this ... The title of the contest alone makes me want to participate. It hints at my favourite quote from Oscar Wilde: “Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.” Wishing you good luck in the contest!
