SAINTS AND SINS

Let all saints be put together

And a giant screen be mounted

Let them know they’re on their own

Sit, watch keenly and see how sin grows

It’s root cannot be seen germinating

It’s little plant cannot be seen on any path

It’s odour cannot be smelt even when near

Because it grows in sheltered hearts unseen

Yes, it grows in hearts falling to confidence spree

It grows with horns before its harm is seen

Then it gains root that none can uproot

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

I’d say everyone has good and bad sides. We are the sacred and the profane, the saint and the sinner. I know I’m not perfect and many a day some anger or evil thought plants itself inside my brain. Riding the subway can be challenging as can dealing with sexist, racist, ageist people who are about to grate on your last good nerve. As I’ve gotten older my tolerance for B.S. is much lower and I have no problem saying what I feel. Yes my language can be earthy and salty nor do I feel any guilt or shame.

Though we may try to hide it behind homilies, smiles and trite sayings I’ve never met anybody who does not get aggravated or has had the urge to punch somebody in the face who is extremely annoying. Honestly sometimes there are horns holding up my halo.

We all feel that way sometimes. It is because it is human nature that I wrote this one. In actuality, I meant to say there are no saints alive and there are no complete sinners. No matter what there is some good lurking somewhere. Thank you Debbie for your insightful comment. I alwayys think we think alike. Blessings.

It’s sad to think that true saints are few and far between. That man is not what they speak. We live in a different time where actions and words only hold air and can not be contained. This a good one. Many blessings to you Cecilia
