List

Lust for life Glutton for punishment Greed for good Sloth for time Wrath for bullies Envy for passion Pride for joy Mobilise the angels We’ve a job to do.

Yes, we need angels to save this world now - another delusion!

This is a list that only angels could fix. Awesome poem, David! Wish we could fund solutions for the seven deadly sins. Love, Carolyn

I have enjoyed this list today, I feel like you were peeking into my heart. Angels are all around us. My grandfather and told us 6 months before he died that he had gotten a message that he was dying and it was ok. He started seeing things after that--I believe he was seeing angels.

Sounds like payback time for NAMA , David . Not sure where the angels are , at the present , but perhaps the devil is in the detail ....
