I often write of sin,
But then,
Words have meaning,
Not only dictionary,
But use ordinary,
To each his own
Definition known,
And, sin to me,
Not morality,
Per se, yet,
Some other way,
For what religions condemn,
I leave up to them,
But, do what you do
With kindness and respect.
I cannot detect,
Something they call sin.
Again, I say again,
What should be done
Alone or with someone,
For pleasure is not bad
If what is done or had,
Is between adults,
Or one adult consenting,
Afterwards only lamenting,
If an error in judgement made,
Or some other blame laid,
Yet I have no quarrel,
With what some call immoral,
I say enjoy love and lust,
Leave the sinning to the just.
