The Notorious Five
Eye that supports greed
It is not satisfied with little
Always asking for more
That it cannot even give
Tongue that destroys life
It speaks out evil freely
And hates to pronounce blessing
Take heed lest you become its victim
Hand that takes bribe
It enjoys ill-gotten gain
Never on good terms with honesty
Beware for it blindfolds the eye
Leg that calls for bloodshed
It is ever pleased with violence
And loves to sacrifice innocent blood
How swift it is to kill
Heart that is full of vanities
It is an abode for those things
That do not count
Surely its products are worthless
