Is failure to do everything a sin?
Does every moment that we eat, or sleep,
Indulge in simple pleasures, or let in
A moment of calm contemplation, keep
Away true holiness, because we fail
To reach out to our neighbors? If we spend
A moment for ourselves, are we but pale
And lifeless imitations of the end
We were supposed to reach? Must we exist
To solely aid our fellow-creatures, or
Can we excuse the chances we have missed
To help them by suggesting that the more
We cultivate and grow as people, we
Will be more help in our futurity?
