Repentance

Go to the tree
Tell it
what is right

Go to the river
Tell the water
your fears of mind

Idols carved on stones
are there in temples
Go and confess
to them

Although you wish
to tell that to a person
like you only
But you are afraid
he may tell this
to somebody else

You are required to seek
shelter of gods
to confess your sin
You are helpless
to be called as timid .
