SIN-GROUND -- THE WORLD

Is it not possible to live without sin to be sure?

In point of fact, is it not possible to live without sin?

What kind of heart is it – hopeless?

Without a moan,

Indeed, you live without the wail 

If you are alive or dead.

If it sates… a hopes spills,

If there is nothing from its existence,

What kind of heart is it without aid to its life?

If it ends without a holiday,

Does it feel the parting?

A punishment is certain –

If misfortunes sit up to spirit –

If the fire ingests suddenly,

May the dissatisfaction bloom forever at that time,

May a fire spread to the sky - grievous pain.

But,

Though the world is the sinland – the desert,

The black – if it fills with blindness or not,

Is it living, that orphaned heart?

O,

Is it not possible to live without sin to be sure?
