Sin
Innocent, was born of my mother
When a single word could not I utter
As grew I a little older
became defiant, and a little bolder
Then I learned how to speak profane
A worthy speech, not but vain
Soon, I learned the art of lying
Enchanted, was I so enjoying
Unaware whom, I was letting sins to make me
Down and down and down to take me
My heart had hardened like stone
My conscience dead like Al Capone
Alas! I've earned the fire
But it'll cleanse the guilt of lust and desire
My hope is then I'd be set to go
But sins abound, really I do not know
