Sermon on Sin

An innocent dream came to me.
It shook me as no storm can do.

Technically,
There is no starting point for action.
One can never know oneself in full.
Hence, one can never really trust oneself.

Yet, start we do. That is our existence.
Therefore, sin and redeem are like brothers.
God far away there is a greatest helper.
Redeems a mankind of pettiness.

But, my dear friend, if I may continue


The power of sin is grave.
It can make us in part know us.
And there it stops.
Part knowledge can only be
A part basis for action.

Thus,
Gravest sin offers a costly path to redemption -
Confess.
Confess not to God far away there.
Confess to your fellow god-brute human.


(Corollary : Kill not thy fellow god-brute.)
