Alas! He did it again.
His well-kept promise,
which he vowed yesterday;
he gave it a miss.
Again and again, he swears
it was the 'last time',
and tomorrow again
he will repeat his crime.
Breaking promises now
is his way of life.
he is no more afraid
of God, conscience or knife.
He feels really guilty,
which I surely know;
as after doing that
his mood is on a low.
Every time he does so,
he stands in front of God
and says, "I won't do it again,
I promise, my Lord."
Even, he knows that
his promises won't be kept.
His oaths of not doing
it again are hardly apt.
He does it, he says,
because world is unjust to him,
and it is to compensate
the injustice inflicted on him.
Yet, every time he knows,
that his reason is no reason,
but a weak excuse to
hide his crime, like treason.
He knows he must stop
before he goes 'out of limit';
But, secretly he knows
he is already past that limit.
