“Magnanimous Mathematics”

Passionless prayer,
full of hot air;
what`s on your heart
you dare not to share:

Your desire for women
like taken and givin`,
create conflict inside
against holy livin`.

Of course, your eyes they do bounce
away from chests that do, too;
yet, the shame and remorse
make you believe it`s just you...

As the drive that`s inside
like hunger and thirst
when prolonged and denied
feels like a damn ready to burst !

So, what do you do ?
Bind your arms with a rope ?
Then untie and give in,
then despair and lose hope ?

Well, why not trust Him ?
-He knows you are weak...-
Whether in winning or losing
determine, His face you will seek.

For He can not help you
if you don`t go to Him;
but if you believe that He loves you
than each time bring Him your sin.

And remember Peter`s inquiry
about forgiveness` frequency;
for Jesus implied with His answer,
“Forgive, infinitely.”
