Seven Deadly Sins
Screwed XI Contest
Sponsor: Rob Carmack
There's seven deadly sins, I am number one.
When the darkness comes, I am very fun.
My wrath of death seems to follow you
turning your brightness into black and blue.
My anger is released into a manifestation
your punishment on others kills anticipation.
Your forceful abuse broke your husbands soul
you only need me to feel vigorous and whole.
You've tasted me, through and through.
I am sin number two.
You don't deserve happiness and starve for gold.
I make you feel your happiness you stole.
An excessive desire taking what you don't need
I am part of your fate, I planted the seed.
I'm the most selfish sin, call me greed.
You've stared at her husband
and woke up in lust.
Now everyone you know
will never trust.
I am sin number three
you've loved me and I make you free.
Your overwhelming desire for pleasure
has become your seductive treasure.
You've felt my power in your veins
for your sexual gratification still remains.
You've held too much high respect
taking my pleasure in possessions galore.
Much too high of intellect
I am your pride, sin number four.
Excessive high opinion of yourself
believing your the best in personal stealth.
High self esteem and completely conceited
your depth of desire is constantly repeated.
I am your exertion of laziness
I keep you on the couch.
Of all the sins I am the easiest
you'll lay with an uneven slouch.
I am sloth, sin number five
You feel me and you're no longer alive.
Your reluctance for work
brings your motivation to a halt.
You throw away time like a jerk
and then it's all my fault.
I saw you last night eat more than you should.
Drinking too much beer you never thought you could.
Excessive meals you place right in front of your face
you'll never be fully understood
everyone knows you are a disgrace.
Welcome me into your life
I am gluttony, sin number six
while overeating with a fork and knife
those unnecessary dinners you will always fix.
Good evening young lady
I am sin number seven.
I have resided in your heart lately
your envy becomes your dark bleak heaven.
You're jealous of her, she has brand new shoes
her husband makes more money
and they have nothing to lose.
Your resentment towards other peoples possessions
will always ring true and you'll never learn your lesson.
I am all seven of these deadly sins
The devil himself created me from his blood
I scratch and crawl underneath your skin
you won't last very long when your selfish and smug.
