Greed,
never-ending and formidable
wanting more than you have
satisfaction is an enemy
you are warned.
Envy,
a desire that cannot be shattered
always lurking around in every corner
dripping with jealousy
waiting to be satisfied.
Pride,
why bother to please anyone else
when you can please yourself
self-love is first priority
doubting that can cause misery.
Lust,
no room for breathing
only room for desire
too much
and one might be driven insane.
Gluttony,
one after another
sick to your stomach
but why bother
there’s no shame.
Wrath,
destruction
a treacherous monster
waiting for the perfect moment
waiting to kill.
Sloth,
always a reason
so why not an excuse
just lie down
you’re too tired anyway.
The seven deadly sins
and one goal:
glory.
