Sin V Poem by Kwame Sarfo Aboagye

If ‘tis true that God’s Spirit lives in us
And guides us always to do what is right,
Could it be that the devil also, quite bright,
Has a place in our hearts and minds, with delight?
For when I tell myself that I’ve seen the light
And strive to attain such a spiritual height,
My mind changes direction like a kite,
And my heart becomes darker than the night.
Is it that I’m too weak to solemnly plight,
Or the devil’s too strong an enemy to fight?
Whichever way I could lose my breath tonight,
And my chance of escape from doom is slight.
From the devil, thus myself I must flee,
No matter how difficult it might be.
