Are we  born already wicked  at the core?

Thinkings and poems 1 Minute

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?

  2. Katherine, I never feel confident that I’ve undertood your powms exactly. but I think that’s a function of the purposeful obscurity of poetry–clarity is not the goal. But I do enjoy the sound of you poems when I read them aloud, and of course there is present always the sense that there is something profound in your words.

    Best wishes,
    David
