Sins' Chain Reactions

Sins - they are violations, faults, offenses
Any forms of sins leads to ill guilt feelings
Resulting from human's weaknesses and pride
Disrupting disturbing human relationships
Placing any cognitive being to shame and doubt

{"To err is human, to forgive is Divine"}

To each and every decision and action
Us - human beings must never forget to discern
Anything we do stimulates chain reactions
If sin is seen, beforehand sternly spurn
The devil will provide worldly attractions
But, hear me Human... I appeal to you: BE FIRM!
AWAY FROM TEMPTATION! AWAY FROM DEVIL'S SATISFACTION!
Rather, integrity and a life eternal we must earn...

Olive a nice poem but I disagree with your last line we cannot earn eternal life it is a free gift from God.

Yes, it is true that it is freely given and offered by GOD but isn't it we must also work on it.... :) for at the end of our life our actions here on earth will be judged accordingly and it is then we will know.. :)
