Wages of Sin

how much does a transgression cost, there shan’t be wealth when sin is free- for I have been to hell and back, o, how can I go on in fear? forget the woe beneath my cage, and WAGE THE SIN within my rage; I must believe in lighter nights- beneath cement the gold seeks hope, yet ‘tween the shades of doing wrong, my fault has seen what I saw not- digress with souls of graven sins and starve for what I knew was right there is no shade to protect me, I’ve counted riches (brush away) for wealth of plenty wears kindness; atonement freed what once was jailed then liberty became my truth deceit and lies are always bought when honest truth is never taught- for life became surreal to me PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE A RIGHTEOUS HEART October 15, 2019 Wages of Sin Edward Ibeh

I am always amazed when I visit your page Luloo and this time is no different. The way you craft you phrases so that the words have their own voice is fantastic. Best wishes in the contest
