Turn towards light

Sins never ask for excuses
To whom does this come
At what age, at what instance
To whom, what for, where, whence

The jealousy to be charred within
The hatred to be buried within
The greed to be lifeless within
The pride to be feared within

Sins just sashay to slay gentle soul
Through that creaky rude back door
Time tested truths - not to let these in
Yet sins never asks for excuses

They enter against unaware soul’s will
Wake up to it, Now, close that door
Turn towards light, God has said:
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
