Blame
Why should I be shamed
for choosing what my senses said
convincingly
was something full of light
but then was afterward
revealed by cunning devils
and their kin
to be a damning sin?
The only person who’s to blame
for this entrapmenting
is God.
For He created man
without endowing him
with His omnisciency,
and made him from the start
as creaturely and weak,
unable, absent grace,
and even then,
to know with certainty
when having to decide
just what
in any circumstance
he is to do,
what’s of the good
and what results in evil
through and through.
So if I've sinned,
I should be forgiven and excused.
