Truth is
November 11, 2021
There are soldiers,
There are priests,
Sinners and saints,
But be honest.
Is there ever really,
Just one you can be?
No. How can there be?
When we all sin,
And we all have battles.
We all fight,
We all do wrong,
And can do right.
It’s up to you,
What you do,
But I’d just be you.

Pretty much nailed it
No, don't be sorry for being religious. This is so interesting. Are you saying that labels like sinner and saint don't encompass the complexity of the human character, and that there are none of us without sin, but there is still incredible good within us, and that goodness is the true self? That's my stab at poem interpretation...
Sorry for all the religious pieces but this is to lift all those sad souls up and make them believe again. Please comment!
