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.
