In the grip of sin

All around us lies the ominous signs of danger

The gripping sins that we can’t imagine
Wherein God being an objective judge, 
Brought hope out from beneath the pain 
and vows can only be something our pledge.

In tone and moods to capture the aura 
there lies a sense of ominous danger 
In deeds where sin blames a new idea
Guilt carries the same tension of fear.

Pondering whether to confess or supress
and swallow the whole dark enormity 
until penitent call the black light darkness
To ascend from the descending enmity.

In fright; we find insight of rules and dreams, 
and get debasement to accept the blame 
when our sins surface under the skins 
We fail and fall being called by another name.

We believe ourselves to a different person 
When the darkness of sin has passed away
We are here as survival of the faults we own 
Although we could not take the blame willingly.

"In fright; we find insight of rules and dreams,
and get debasement to accept the blame
when our sins surface under the skins
We fail and fall being called by another name."

I love this stanza here. It really speaks words. The last line is especially true of people who are religious since perfection is to be expected out religious people. At the end of each day, and as I always say, we are first and foremost human before we are anything else, any other title. Good message in the poem.
