Original Sin
Stained
and tainted
by
the mark of the original sin
carried
over by the breaths
of
the thousand generations
splintered
and spliced into million souls
rebirth,
reborn and regenerated
the
pain mold and morphed into multitudes
but
nobody gets bothered
by
the triteness of the truth
carried
and rebirth over the same tongue
passed
over from generation to generation
the
truth taste different on my soul
hunger
has its own definition
tear
has a varied taste
a
distinct trail on every soul
even
the rope going back and forth
leaves
a separate mark on that blind well
in
my courtyard
we
all have taken a different journey
we
are all destined for a different destination
our
pain stemmed from
the
same source
all
stained by the original sin.

You've captured the oneness and difference in religious views in such a way within this piece. You've also captured that haunting truth that we're all corrupted. Even perverted by our own origins in the same way. A somber, but powerful piece.
