the key is easy (haiku chain)

The key is easy
taboos are not sins,
compulsions lack true freedom,
culture norms block real truth,
so just what is sin?
as I get older
I seem to understand more
about my own true nature,
yet ignorant still.
sin implies freedom
giving dignity to all,
showing we are not victims
for choice is involved.
we are not victims,
the message is there to see
it is best to have a sin
than bound by taboo.
victims of sin yes
sinned against more than sinners
compulsions fruit is the soil
where our chains are forged
yet there is true hope
for the Gideon knot we have
entangled, untie-able
mercy shows the way
the key is easy
though hard to live in true life
self contempt our enemy
that only love heals.
we love to grasp, cling,
to that which imprisons us
the power of sin still strong
yet mercy greater
