Why Can'T Sin Be Eliminated From the Defiant Minds
Today many have grown cold
about the seriousness of sin,
they shouldn't be justified
by their superficiality
towards righteousness and morality;
have they denounced
their faith and condoned
all they do without repugnance
when even themselves
are disgusted by their deeds
of pervasiveness?
Why can't sin be eliminated
from defiant minds...
smashing it with anger and become
shattered crystals?
Sin is the rod of lawlessness,
not of holiness:
it's an abomination
in God's angry eyes!
ah, Humanity you have brought
upon yourself punishment,
never realizing how disobedience
alienates you from His blessings!
ah, Humanity your water wells
are dry from the drought
of rainless days and excessive sunlight;
even your souls cry out of desperation!
I sincerely repented for my wrongfulness
being ashamed of my lustiness
of the restlessness inside;
I closed the book of salvation,
and greeted damnation
and overtaken by temptation
I rejected the justification.
Too short were the pleasures of the flesh,
too bitter were the tears of remorse;
too severe were the words rebuked by the conscience...
that constantly echoed to admonish
my uncontrollable behavior burning more than a wildfire.
Why do people fail to see the warning signs,
not thinking about the consequences of their actions?
Why can't sin be eliminated from defiant minds?
Can't they admit that sin is a human weakness...
when not enough resistance prevents deviations?
Why can't sin be obliterated from mean hearts
and erased from everyone's memory by repenting?
How many trials must the righteous ones endure?
Holy, God sitting on the throne of righteousness,
allow all sinners to comprehend the gravity
of their wickedness and mend their abhorring ways;
nobody is free from sin until they are cleansed!
