The Sins of Life

The road to hell is full of hate jealousy & envy among other things Many are consumed by its rings & the pathways meant to eat them alive The world is a gluttonous place that thrives on consumers willing to sell themselves to buy Greedy & full of pride they search for things to devour until they've reached their final hour In the end all are angry with themselves for wasting time that could've been better spent Some repent but others don't feel the need & choose to drink away the pain instead They dread looking within as the sin mirrored back is too clear for the vain Too hard is the rain that falls from a sky that inches closer to the ground with every passing day We're living in costly times where being alive means there's hell to pay minus the nickels & dimes Change is inevitable but only time will tell if we've clearly read the signs
