The Deadly 7
7 of the most deadly sins, lurk & inhabit., us all within
No one is immune, of its venomous wrath.
Human nature not an obstacle, in its path.
Although we are made out of love, we are born into sin.
Nothing more deadly than the living and breathing.
let me introduce , you to PRIDE. A funny thing we all know, yet hide.
Pride is the deadliest of them all, many a man live truly a man fall.
Pride is so hurtful in many ways, it takes recognition away,
Competitively displays.
In this materialistic world, we live in. ENVY is shrewd so, we may not see it coming.
Unknowingly to us or the victims it harbors, resent the good seen, in others
To have everything in abundance and never satisfied, is truly GLUTTONY with "big" gleaming, eyes.
Wanting something, purely for our own, pleasure & satisfaction, LUST has no love or, emotional attachment.
In a twinkle of an eye ANGER, can trigger a sad goodbye. Many have died at the hands of this trait, love turned to anger determines another's fate.
Obtaining all the possessions of wealth and fortune, GREED sadly strips us of our salvation, with distortion.
Physical things that we need at present, vanish away with , irrelevance.
Working for what we want to achieve, there is no place for SLOTH, and it's un-motivated deeds..
