The Deadly Seven
Look to thine own mirror,
Give up your selfish Pride.
You too will soon find out,
No place on Earth to hide.
Cast thee from all Greed,
Restore your family crest.
Golden bars of shame,
Are worn upon your chest.
Do not curse thy neighbor,
Or covet thee his wife.
Your Lust is seen by all,
To jeopardize your life.
Dost thou feel the poison,
Coursing through your veins?
Your eyes are filled with Envy,
Which soils your remains.
Doth thou belly swell?
Your Gluttony is the proof.
We're all watched from afar,
And under one big roof.
Come thee hither now,
Heed thy words profound.
Your Wrath will seal your fate,
And plant you in the ground.
Get thee from thy bed,
Your Sloth will be your ending.
The Judgement will be swift,
No excuse worth defending.
