menial sins

you believe
in a compassionate
God.
a forgiving
God.
he'll have to be
because no
one is completely
innocent, no one
exists
without some small
sin on their plate.
even you, as hard
as it is to
believe, has sinned.
how often do you
neglect to
separate the plastic
and paper,
the glass
and the cans.
how lazy you are,
just tossing them
all together
ignoring
the eventual
collapse of
civilization because
of your indifference.
