Atonement 

O Lord, forgive me for my unpardonable sin,

Thy forgiveness will console my disgruntled soul,

No words can justify atonement for my devilish act

Pardon me for my crimes against humanity,

I crave for atonement to pacify my rude mind,

Never I bow my arrogant body and ruthless soul near you,

I tread on with  rebellious views,

Now, I yearn to sublimate my wild actions, 

O God, please forgive my immature reasons, 

For I am your one and only son, 

In your divine being,

I need to surrender and resign, 

I strive to withdraw from the Earthly cravings, 

I desire to merge with your Supreme being,

Embrace this fool in your cradle,

O omnipotent, hold me and forgive me for my arrogant insights,

Let me merge into your luminous, unending, and ever-glowing light…
