Sin is not simple;
its motives are
less out of desire
to do the wrong thing
and more to get
what we deserve.
We sin not to enjoy
the short-lived
pleasure and thrill,
but to bring on
the suffering
we know follows.
We thrive on pity,
on sympathetic eyes
wondering where
we made a wrong turn
leaving us at this dead end.
But we knew where
we were going
the whole time;
we knew it would kill us.
Sin is not simple;
Its motives are
Less out of desire
To do the wrong thing
And more to get
What we deserve
