Perplexity
I must admit I don't understand,
Why I hate to love and love to hate;
So it is... things that relate to man.
I swear to honor with ring on hand,
Then walk away as my vows I break;
I must admit I don't understand.
I pledge love for eternity's span,
Then soon forget my promises made;
So it is... things that relate to man.
To have a child some do all they can,
Other's abort, precious life they take;
I must admit I don't understand.
I flee God, yet pray help from his hand,
His name I praise yet soon in vain take;
So it is... things that relate to man.
For as long as the hour glass sifts sand,
As long as darkness falls and day breaks;
I must admit I don't understand,
So it is... things that relate to man.
A villanelle
