Sins of the Fathers
by Rachel Teoh

Sins of the fathers
in deep thought
you are so sweet
in your sleep
just an excuse in my eyes
God is you
and I am close to you
an angel of deep
sins are yours to strip
yet as I lay forgiven
fear surfaces within
for tonight,
am I to be sacrificed?
crucified?
denied?
