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
