The Deadly Seven

Which one is your chosen poison? I dare you to say none But both you and I know Out of seven there will be one Let's go through them one at a time Come to a possible solution For if you're going to go to hell At least know for which Deadly Sin Are you always yearning for something? Possessions or wealth, do you feel a need? Constant thoughts of want on your mind All bought out by Greed Sumptuous feasts with plenty to consume Indulging in delights with no company Excessively eating more than is required Extravagance brings with it Gluttony Desires that need fulfilment Thoughts and actions to some disgust Craving pleasures of the body Satisfying the craving of Lust What someone else has do you desire? Think you're better than many? Jealousy to some it is known That green eyed monster Envy Unwilling to get too physical Lazing around like a loath Failure completing that which is required Characteristics common with Sloth Always in a rage, seeking out revenge A vindictive nature enabling you to bash Extreme anger coupled with hate A furious temper known as Wrath Belief that you are superior Always feeling very self satisfied Called vain on many occasions This arrogance is Pride No one is perfect these sins are proof But now you can try to dispel Behaviour and actions of any given sin You may even stay out of hell! 05/02/2016
