The Seven Deadly Sins Revisited

Wrath Do not be angry with your fellow friend It tears you apart And, it puts stress on your heart Greed No need to own more than you already have Resolve your passion for those in need Step up and be the one to lead Sloth The Truth of the Word is written Take heed so you will not it take lightly For the Words are not meant slightly Pride God gave us two meanings We can choose to be more than we should Or make better choices to not be misunderstood Lust A powerful emotion this is, takes control Thoughts in the mind are intense and disrupting Prayer to the Higher Power will be the only way to interrupting Envy Submit not to it No concern of others’ wealth, you have what you need With that, you will succeed Gluttony Waste not your food, drink, or belongings Those who have nothing, distribute your supply Chances are you will get by. ©Holly P.

Dear Holly, you pointed out the 7 deadly sins, in a very unique way . Love the nodded fashion you used to present your form. , I like what you did with the didactic. Every one of the sins are pin pointed right. I think the greed one can teach a small lesson as well. I see the 2 prides you are talking about. The rhymes are well fitted in your poem. Thank you for always taking your time, and reading my poems.. your the best.. always~ pd
