So far ,So good

sonnet in tetrameter

 

So far, so good

 

Although I’m far from innocent

I have done things I now repent.

In self defence I must protest

 I am no worse than all the rest

Whose sins have yet to come to light.

They still profess their innocence

Their sins well hidden out of sight

 and yet feel free to take offence.

At peccadilloes I confess.

Which seems to me hypocrisy

 as if somehow their sins are less

 than those I confess openly.

Because they’re sure nobody knows.

 Its human nature I suppose.

I thought a tetrameter was a four stanza piece? No expert though. Your message is clear and concise, we are all only human and beating ourselves up for minor misdemeanors is pretty much futile. Repentance is good for the soul and a pathway to inner peace I feel, though some take it a few steps too far into the ridiculous. Yes I am certain that many have yet to realize the importance of humility.
Nicely done Sire...
