Sinning Sainted Cynic

by Michael D Nalley   Mar 30, 2009


The sinner lives to break the rules
To enjoy pleasures of the fools

The saint longs for a higher cause
And sees the purpose of the laws

The cynic is to each his own
Exalting himself all alone

We may think of an exemption
Yet, all humans need redemption

    This was a another excellant poem. You got the rhyme really good and the flow was excellant. These poem was true for the most part and again good job.

    For me, this was an interesting read. I felt it was put together nicely, and interestingly. I enjoyed how you wrapped it all up together nicely at the end. The only thing that I was a bit iffy about was the title. I understand that those are difficult to come up with, but I think you could have gone with something stronger. Still, great job. (:

    Human nature is so vivid and unpredictable... still you have captured it well.. sumarising us in three categories... and defining our nature...

    well done ...
