Sin Equations
I’m forgiven
I’m for giving
I’m forbidden
I’m forgetting
It’s in my genes
I’m out my jeans
Caught in between
A rock and a soft place
A taste I can’t erase
A memory I can’t replace
I can’t press rewind
My Rock with a sad face
Sending rockets to blow up my spot
I’m giddy at the thought
I’ll break it into a million pieces
Destruction for goodness sake
Destroying a generation
For my own veneration
And build something new
I could have just withdrew
Saved that deposit for my kids future
Instead of spending it on my future kids
Now my legacy reborn
In out-of-wedlock statistics
And single parent homes
Some sins I’m ok with
I don’t want to get away with
But I think if I don’t insist
That fleeting lust desist
Make this life not exist
That I will be reborn
My math isn’t that great
So I’ll stand before the gate
And they’ll subtract 1 from -808
I’m dumb enough to think that’s a positive number
Fckng new math
I’m for giving
I’m forbidden
I’m forgetting
It’s in my genes
I’m out my jeans
Caught in between
A rock and a soft place
A taste I can’t erase
A memory I can’t replace
I can’t press rewind
My Rock with a sad face
Sending rockets to blow up my spot
I’m giddy at the thought
I’ll break it into a million pieces
Destruction for goodness sake
Destroying a generation
For my own veneration
And build something new
I could have just withdrew
Saved that deposit for my kids future
Instead of spending it on my future kids
Now my legacy reborn
In out-of-wedlock statistics
And single parent homes
Some sins I’m ok with
I don’t want to get away with
But I think if I don’t insist
That fleeting lust desist
Make this life not exist
That I will be reborn

it's nearly nothing....grace covers all bets, even
-0.99984769515639 = sin (-808-1)
you told a good story and the first lines are right on =
I’m forgiven
I’m for giving
I’m forbidden
I’m forgetting
It’s in my genes
I’m out my jeans
Caught in between
that is clear as a bell.....

Math should be (-808 + 1). Overall I'm saying how the subject picks and chooses the "sins" they think they'll be judged for. i.e. he's not willing to let his married mistress have an abortion because of "religious" reasons - yet having a married mistress, out-of-wedlock sex, etc., are seemingly non-factors. There is also the moral factor of destroying 2 families and leaving a legacy of kids with no fathers, etc.
Edited to say that both of the philanderers are married with children. "My Rock..." is the wife of the cheating husband. And by destroying two homes both sets of kids end up in single-households.

Wow, I really love this, it's extremely clever and well thought out. The wit about it is quite astounding :-)
