We  don’t hear  words like “sin”   used any more
Is mental illness   now the default term?
Then  noone is immoral,  their mind’s sore

Guilt so painful , we push  out the door
Evading the dank lowness of the worm
We  don’t hear  words like “sin”   much any more

Health and ethics joined up with a  prayer
Evil acts then treated like bad form
So  noone is immoral  at the core

Self deception builds up layer by layer
Slow at first, but we are quick to learn
We  don’t hear  words like “sin”   much , do we care?

Temptation grows,  for life is rarely fair
Moral acts are harder  to perform
Are we all  born wicked  at the core?

Here is Satan with a pair of horns
Pan the God of farmers ,Christians scorned
We  don’t hear  words like “sin”  yet Cain was born
Are  we  sick at heart and feeling raw?

Extract

” It is also the case that every year at this time, at least one such individual contacts me to ask if I can ‘cure’ shyness.

That’s not possible, first because shyness is not a psychiatric disorder. Shy people suffer from anxiety when in social settings, and some may even become depressed as a result of their social difficulties. Nonetheless,shyness itself is simply a personality trait, not a psychological disorder, or illness. Second, shyness is a characteristic that appears to have a relatively heavy genetic loading. In other words, although shy people can learn ways to manage their anxiety, their shyness will usually remain.”
