Lust

A concubine, harlot, and a mistress to us 
all
Enticing us with her beauty seducing men 
and women to do her biding
Leading us astray into the depths of 
perversion with blurred vision
we follow her every command
Not knowing that her cabal with Greed, 
Pride, Hatred, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Anger, 
and Ignorance
ends with our destruction
