Redemption Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Redemption

Rating: 5.0


Tonight to cry
For the lost souls
Including mine
Plead redemption

To ask for God's
Forgiveness now
Saintly sinners
In Satan's might

To sweat out sin
Be forgiven
In Jesus' eyes
And rest in peace

Tonight to not cry
For my damned lost soul
In all that is sin
Is now forgiven

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Daniel 11 May 2018

These four quatrains (4 x 4) are remarkably compressed as if each one us a complete life. But I'm sure they are an allegory of just ONE LIFE with its multiple SIN - REPENTENCE - FORGIVENESS - which us why a soul can be both damned and lost, that is, damned until found by Jesus and forgiven. That's why you call humans saintly sinners. Your poem is equally Dostoyevsky and Kerouac.

Wow! Dostoyevsky and Kerouac. I must be doing something right. Daniel, I am humbled and greatly flattered. Kerouac was very worried about where his soul would end up after his death. I suspect that he was deeply concerned about the possibility of purgatory. Which would be quite tragic because he was sort of living a purgatory on earth.
