The Seven Deadly Sins
I’m never proud of me, but I couldn’t be more proud of you
I’ve lost myself again, but what if finding me takes losing everything else, too?
I’ve never wanted anything more than to reach out and feel your touch
That will never happen because I’m not her, and it pains me so much
I’ll sit in this

The Seven Deadly Sins
ON SEVEN DEADLY SINS
The seven deadly sins are the humans' true creations.
To live with gluttony
sexual actions digest the disruption of the mind,
gluttony is a luxuria of food.
To be lustful
lecherousness is never satisfied,
it develops into an inflamed and insane craving.
To have greed
either for money or power.
To enjoy slothfulness
to lazy about without a care in the world.
To

Seductions of Sin'
Seductions of Sin
With the lusts of the world:
do I thee; threaten more?
Is this what the world has to offer;
since its originated defiance?
That set the scene for this world;
to attest and set afire,
for the rest of 'sin' to complete with such desire!
The call is strong in sin here:
am I too

Those Deadly Sins
Lust for life, Van Gogh lost his ear,
The lust for gold by the old pioneer.
The lust for love or which we all long,
The lust for power for some so strong.
Gluttony,we yield on the guys night out,
A few more beers when it's your shout.
Eat fish n chips as you homeward go,
Just another pint, won't hurt you

Envy
The sin of Envy-
a sin of self-indulgence
that scorns everything
one can't do or have.
Envy hates- feels entitled-
whether earned or not.

The New Seven Deadly Sins
I think it's time to do an update
Of The Seven Deadly Sins
Most people do not know them all
Sit down and let's begin
I'm not really religious
But, I think they're a bit stale
So, I think I'll spruce them up a bit
In this my sinly tale
Gluttony, a sin of course
I think it should be changed
With an asterick, obesity
There,

Seven Deadly Sins
Infatuation with your laws
Reluctance with with your flaws
Admiration is pointless
When superiority is never less
Oblivious to your own riches
Keep adding more wishes
Now you go and guess
Unable to stop thinking, life is less
Can't accept what you can't own
A sudden change in your tone
Desire for other's happiness
Leaves you in a dark chaotic mess
The fingers are itch

Deadly Sins
Shattered, busted
Broken pieces
Sinner, lusted
Crisco creases
White noise
High pitched screams
Girly boys
Wet dreams
Blood red stains
Off white gown
Pistol rings
Chalk on ground
Lethal needles
Veins blown
Better feels
Than being stoned
Strip club love
STDs
Ketamine rub
Nose bleeds
Masked face
Girl at gunpoint
Steps retraced
Blow this joint
Hep C
Painted skin
Deadly
Seven sins

Six Deadly Sins
He kept at it,
and woke up a band of hoodlums
Observing the ways of the moon,
calling Jane like a fool,
looking late for school,
missing cake for food,
sleeping eight by noon,
weeping for a new wave in the loo
Ademola kept at it,
and a moll lurked in fairness

7 Deadly Sins
When God showed me a vision,
I was wondering if what it is all about,
He was showing me the greatness, and fullness of life,
Where I neglected it and did not shew some delight,
He showed me fruits of a different kind,
Where I can pick, and have the best one I like
But, I kept on

The Seven Deadly Sins
If you laugh at anger and allow some pride,
You may not be quite the same person inside;
If you ignore a little greed, just to yourself,
And inspect sloth in worship as an act of self,
You’ll become lazy more often than you like,
Expecting no consequences, no laborious hike,
Back to work, concern

Wronged--Seven Deadly Sins
Thank you for coming on short notice, sir.
A drink, perhaps, before we speak of her?
No? To bus’ness then. Ending civil strife
Requires me to move against my wife.
I trust that you will note I’m not to blame
When you have heard how I’ve been put to shame.
She scolds me when I’ve had too much to eat,
Objects when

The Seven Deadly Sins
Seven deadly sins:
Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Envy,
Gluttony and Sloth.
No altruism found here;
One-way street to selfishness.
Pride, Greed...self-centered.
All goals directed inward
To please only one...
Taker-Greed grabs, swindles all;
Boaster-Pride...smug, but lonely.
Lust and Gluttony;
Human over-indulgence
Of diverse cravings.
Lust for flesh...Gluttony, food.
Both are selfish abusers.
Anger and Envy
Sad sins of self-indulgence;
They feed each other.
Envy hates...wants what it sees;
Anger hates...wants its

Screwed XI Contest

There's seven deadly sins, I am number one.
When the darkness comes, I am very fun.
My wrath of death seems to follow you
turning your brightness into black and blue.
My anger is released into a manifestation
your punishment on others kills anticipation.
Your forceful abuse broke your husbands soul
you only need me to feel vigorous

A Congregation of Deadly Sins
The Seven Deadly Sins held a conference deep within
my fragile, mortal soul with destruction as their goal.
Pride took the role of lead, but was monopolized by Greed;
Sloth paid no attention; Anger interrupted the convention;
Envy held a jealous hunch; Gluttony moved they break for lunch;
Every member knew they couldn’t trust, any suggestions made by Lust.
As the
