My Confessions


Some reasons defeat moral virtues
At the crossroad of my heart
Mama must hear this,
Papa must hear it too
It is a desecration of thoughts
An aberration of wisdom
Oh why?

The man can’t hear this
The Church must die to my confession
It is a holy crime
Murder of sanity
But a hope to love

The guilty must die to doctrines
That can’t escape penitential experience
May the trouble heart purge
The eavesdrops of gossips
The scenes of sinful sights
The evil wishful desires of vanity
While I keep a laud eternal silence
