Sonnet- About Sin

Sin is one thing God abhors forever;
Sin is one thing that Man alone can do;
Sin is one thing which shouldn't stain soul, brother;
Sin is the devil's bond with man to woo.

One can do sin alone and in your mind;
One can commit it with others present;
We sin in thought and action, ne'er rescind;
Failure to do our duty's sin too, meant.

To err has become Man’s second nature;
The conscience's a clean forgotten thing;
Sin's rift with God, one must early suture;
Otherwise, it can defy good healing.

A sinful soul can't enter God's Kingdom;
Yet, God has given Man so much freedom.
