I am punished for a sin of anger

even satire cannot excuse


and yet when I try to make amends

when I try to change my ways


no ways are ever good enough

and I cannot endure or prolong


the agony and stay strong

until some turning point is reached


and some forgiveness and atonement

can set in...oh...do not tell me of the One


ever ready to judge and punish but never to lift

a finger to help or to forgive


the only thing worse than the sin of anger

is the judgment of the One
