SECOND CHANCE

SECOND CHANCE

The cloudy smoke billowing,

blinding me

and shrouding the vices of this world.

I was blinded and

couldn’t see the evil ways of

the people therein.

Alas! I have been living in iniquity

to my own ignorance.

I didn’t know that

what I thought was right

was actually wrong.

Oh blind me!

Lord,

let the wind

come blow this blinding smoke away.

Let this cotton be removed from my eyes

so that I may see more than am seeing now

and to know to what extent the damage had been wreaked.

 I have eaten the forbidden fruit,

I’ve seen my nakedness,

I’ve been deceived by the serpent.

Lord, give me a sign by writing on the wall,

give my Adam and Eve a second chance,

reinstate me back into my garden of Eden.
