What Sin ?



What sin do these people have ?

That they are poor, unfed, dirty ?

Others come with pious eyes,

And kneel before their lord.

But for what must they repent ?


Some rapid supplications, hurried,

A lunchtime rush to be within.

Whilst more who beg the love of god,

Are bowing low in humble prostration,

Hoping for a forgiving embrace.


Who told them of this sin ?

That they should feel so unworthy.

The acts of sharing in themselves,

Are they not all that is required,

By a god who gave his son ?
