Richard Corey by Edward Arlington Robinson

WHENEVER Richard Cory went down town,

We people on the pavement looked at him:

He was a gentleman from sole to crown,

Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed, 5

And he was always human when he talked;

But still he fluttered pulses when he said,

"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king,

And admirably schooled in every grace: 10

In fine, we thought that he was everything

To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,

And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;

And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, 15

Went home and put a bullet through his head.

You could do a lot with this; the first thing people think of is the suicide, but look at all the references and hints concerning envy, jealousy, etc.

HOWEVER--I don't think this poem is sinful; it is beautiful and full of truth, but it deals with the destructive sins of envy, jealousy, self-murder, etc.

the songs and subjects of intercourse on my own isn't a sin in any respect yet whilst one take it and prepare it on self as yet another place of existence type without being married turns right into a sin, and forcing intercourse on somebody is likewise a sin...

There was a hermit named Dave

who kept a dead whore in his cave

He said with a grunt

"that's might cold cun*

but look at the money I save"

the Bible speaks against having sex with dead people

Text cannot be sinful, only the person writing the text who has the idea is sinful.

There once was an Atheist from Athens

could not tell his as. from an afghan

He denied the living God

with a smile and a nod

When the end came he lay rotting

In his bod!

An impetuous couple named Kelly

Was forced to walk belly-to-belly

Because in their haste

They used library paste

Instead of petroleum jelly.

There was a young girl from Capsizes,

whose breasts were of two different sizes.

One was quite small,

really nothing at all;

but the other was big and won prizes.

the "song of songs" from the bible... it talks about sex acts... very sinful

</sarcasm>

something that evokes thought and opens your mind cannot be sinful.
