Deadly

Give in to mortal attire
Satisfy burning desires
Do not succumb to lust
Falsely congratulate their wealth
While wishing progression on self
Then envy runs robust

Conquer life and measure income
Share not success with anyone
Deciding fate with greed
Eat all today, spare not one thing
Why wait for what tomorrow brings
The glutton always feeds 

No need to make haste or to work
Relax while enjoying life’s quirks
Be lazy like the sloth
To spare no emotion, be bold
Unsympathised shouting so cold
Unfair world, angry boss

The one weighed most heavy on me
Blindly aimed, the lost cannot see
Too much pride, never free
