SHAME
SHAME

I was five when I committed first sin:
stole one cents gum from Goodie Shoppe.
Shame/guilt racked my neophyte soul:
saved nickel – snuck it on their countertop.
Septuagenarian life testifies many more:
from those called venial to serious mortal.
`One’ considered common for humanity:
`other’ dastardly to be denied heaven portal.
At some point in life, maybe sooner than later:
inventory is perused and one examines soul.
I testify that you may feel forgiven by divine:
but ignominy lasts forever written in charcoal.
It isn’t just you or others trespassed against:
every thought/word/deed penetrates noosphere.
`The Butterfly Effect’ shows small can affect big:
history illustrates good/evil are juxtaposed - clear.
In my lifetime prime examples – Gandhi/Hitler:
small individuals whose impact changed world.
One strived for hope/betterment of humankind:
among many righteous names divine scroll furled.
The other’s fascist agenda forever in infamy:
now to my horror and disbelief comes another.
Racist/misogynist/egotistical/malevolent – some traits:
has hatred towards principles of universal sister/brother.
I am beseeching you, dear one, to heed my plea:
shame for not doing right haunts entire lifetime.
Bonhoeffler/Schindler/tenBooms … courageously stood:
for the sake of ALL humankind, let your liberal voice chime.
