What does it mean?
I know what it means to be bad
And sad
Does it have something to do with that?
what is Sin?
When I break the vase the vase that cost my mom a fortune
And I say I didnt know about this misfortune
I lied
And I know
But what is sin?
Once, I had been told to mop
I looked at the glop
On the floor
Near the door
I looked up at my parents and said
“Must I complete this task?”
“If its too much to ask”
I didn’t do it
I disobeyed
But what is sin?
When I started school
When I was still a fool
I was mad
When someone had stole my crayon
I screamed
The teacher told me to calm down
I shouted at her
Her smile soon turned into a frown
I was disrespectful
I know
But what is Sin?
I soon realized
All along I knew what sin meant
I had just wanted to pretend
That it didnt exist.
