It is a sin against the human
In my mindWhen I think of fear.
It is a crime against the God
In my heartWhen I think of doubt.
It is a sin against my God-becoming
In my life-riverWhen I deliberately feed despair.
It is a crime against my God-manifestation
In my body-fieldWhen I unconditionally surrender to shameless death.
