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
