The very definition of the 'Paradise' has to be revised. Though as a poet you have full liberty to renew your promise to made to 'God', I would like to know whether it is man`s fault alone to be in this impasse? A new strain has been added to man`s miserable struggle since B.C 18000 when modern man began his different mission of life on a planet that would have just spun like any other planet for ever.. Good human beings still survive and that is why this paradise is still habitable for most of us. The slaves know how to toil and Master may not. Please, take it light as my atheistic mindset has urged me to write like this.

Only by asking forgiveness we may find ourselves to start new life, Sure He will forgives us, no matter how bad we are As we want to lose all bad and find a truth though we do commit sins everyday we always able to be forgiven as long as our love to Him not betrayed by things we are just human who can avoid from mistakes and because of love between us and God that make life forgiven and smooth... a pleasing write Shahzia_Soul

A human is bound to make mistakes, seek forgiveness and then again go to commit sins. This vicious circle goes on. Had it not be so, a human would have been God Himself. However confessing the sin by the sinner may relieve one of his/her guilt but consequences of one's KARMA has to be faced The poem sums up the idea beautifully regarding committing and seeking forgiveness.

The one who makes confessions must be a very humble soul and Almighty is all forgiving to such people. I believe Shahzia you are the one.

We all 'eat the apple' many times during our lives, but hopefully we learn from the error of our ways. A simple but relevant write.

Most sins are sins of thought not deeds. The temptation lies in our heart which is vulnerable to conflicting and destructive emotions. Your poem is simple in structure but powerful in message. The ending word paradise elegantly picks up the off rhyme in, daily sign, which ends with great effect.

It shows the consciousness of mind and being updated and putting the work done to Almighty/ so cautious unto the Sin (Satanic In Nature) though we do commit unknowingly...Allah forbade us to do the sin, ..No such situation should arise in our life to forget Him well write

this is the destiny of human being, this is a scheme of our creator, for better, to fall and rise periodically and make us responsible of our conscience, a nice poem indeed, you talk in volume in short......critic will write chapter after chapter on this explaining significance, intrinsic and wide...

to err is human to forgive divine.... the poem takes a biblical advantage in human failing and inevitable tortured confusion of the soul well conceived, the beauty in simplicity and absolutely no redundundancy liked

Such a wonderful piece of a poem! This is human predicament! ! We fall, but falling is no sin as long as we strive to get up! God is all love and all forgiveness. He will atone our sins, provided we are repentant! !
