Sinning Aint That Bad

I sinned today I blasphemed against All the concepts inherent In the supremacy of the soul And the crowning glory of the afterlife I asked questions And delved into my psyche Where I found conundrums That fatally wound my conscience I decided to set myself free Free of shackles imposed by dogma That is irrelevant to My innate sense of fraternity I am relived that I can now Think of the here and now And of me And not of outdated philosophy Now I am untethered And my soul has topical value With a limited finite lifespan I can cherish the day I live And worry not about The ghost of sins past That torment me And which have no sense of honesty I will rejoice In the peace of My new felt sensitivity To humanity that surrounds me And my ability to grasp new concepts Of life That now do not exclude me I am becoming a saint That walks and breathes And who understands Life’s meaningless complexities That once disastrously Decimated society It feels good now that sin has Comfortingly enveloped me I can do as I do And let the demons Of another world abandon me I am after all Able to love me
