Sinful Nature

How can I activate-awaken thy conscience oh mind-soul
you seem blind
dauntless
greedy
arrogant
vain
un-teachable
inconsiderate and
ruthless in your wickedness


Is it intentional or un-intentional?
or that you just don't want to be humble
but instead continually guarding-justifying your sins-darkness


How come you are so cruel?
Can't you give love and humility a chance?
And humble your arrogance?
And see how it feels?
then the spirit of truth will appear
guide you
teach you
nurture you
embrace you
and be with you


Since thy innocence has been unveiled from thy eyes
you've waxed stronger in your wickedness
no sign of repentance, no
why not choose good instead of evil
unity instead of chaos
love instead of hatred
and eternity instead of death


WHY MIND-SOUL?
WHY?
