my greatest sin--to add more sin,
without a pause, without a cause,
to end of day from day begin,
in retrospect, from where I've been,
to where I go, I break the Law,
my greatest sin--to add more sin,
I plead no ignorance within,
the Law I've heard, I've read, I saw,
to end of day from day begin,
and though I preach of ways to win,
mere breath of sound from clacking jaws,
my greatest sin--to add more sin,
I pose for all like mannequin,
in holy postures for the Law,
to end of day from day begin,
my transformation must begin,
before my end's a hopeless cause,
my greatest sin--to add more sin,
to end of day from day begin.
(C)2008, Christos Rigakos
