Why is it we all pretend that when we hear of some horrible sin that we cannot imagine a human could do such a thing? Why do we act that way about mundane sins? All it would take is for someone to read a bit of the Bible, or spend five minutes looking at themselves, to realize we're all fallen beings, and we all experience the corruption of sin in all aspects of our lives.
We couldn’t believe
what he had done.
I say we,
but it was they
who could not;
I understood
quite well,
having seen sin
dangle before
my own eyes.
Sin, depravity,
these we know
all too intimately;
pause, reflect
on images long
repressed.
I said nothing,
neither condemning
myself,
nor reminding
each of us
how the mighty
once fell.
None now
are mighty.
