crime versus contrition

when crime versus contrition, 

why does how crime exceed contrition matter?

crime is a timely act,

but contrition is a lifelong journey.

crime is eventfully embraced,

where as contrition lives intimately within.

crime is a takeaway, 

but contrition is a giving forth.

crime has newsworthy benefits.

contrition is primarily a state of being.

crime plays to fear, 

in a major key heard out loud.

contrition responds to past fear events ,

in a somewhat minor key, 

quite privately.

to have them equate in some way?

judgment does not have a timeline 

for that . . .
