Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

Wrath

Let's talk about Wrath one of the seven deadly sins
its magnitude contends where the other six soon begins
it can start with Pride by hiding ones true feelings and implode
then lashing out at someone close because it was swallowed

Lust comes in when indignant thoughts lead to hurtful words
the victim looks for kindness and sweet talk comes in herds
it is often found with Envy whether it is love or financial gain
people covet what others have and will inflict the worst of pain

Gluttony is sanctioned it happens to some in time
I can eat that other piece of pie for I am in my prime
let's not forget Vanity for that is known worldwide
people suing surgeons for mistakes they cannot hide

Lastly there's Greed comes to play with its only friend
armed robbery to petty theft with heart's left to mend
this list hardly covers what this word of rage entails
for Wrath is my worst enemy it festers and it swells
