Seven Deadly Sins
My heart has become it's own person
My heart beats on just to torture my aching mind
Everyday my heart tricks my mind into 
playing a game of the seven deadly sins,
My mind fails every time....

lust

to see and admire
one time is human nature
innocently done

to look again with
desire is lustful intent
the start of a sin

consumed by longing
a yearning for dreams un-sought
pours emptiness upon life
a hollow sorrow
denies the truth of plenty
obsessed with seeking’s seeking

One of the seven deadly sins-

the one named Greed can't be outdone,

with selfish goals and swindled wins

that please a cheap, self-centered one!

Covetousness
Longing to possess
belongings of fellowman.
Perfidious unseen want
enrobed in sweetness.
Treachery rooted deep down.
Stealing begins in the heart.

Fools are those who let

emotions overwhelm them,

and those who simmer in rage,

are among the worst,

for murder often is born

from this deadliest of 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...

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.

53-Word Poem
I desire the great things of the world. But pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth cloud my vision of the future and distract me from what matters most. The seven deadly sins are based upon being self-serving.  But is it a sin if they serve your peers and children of God?...

A Poem of Your Honesty
Oceans are blue
Trees are green
Roofs are red
A thousand view

Though, I want to know 
what's inside you
Grab your throat, put it into view
Your deadly sins, or a thousand schemes

A devil’s heart, or an angels’ corrupted thoughts
Doesn’t matter, It’s your soul’s beautiful hue...

ANGER

this unkind rude world
trying to taking you on
blazes the fire of anger
mind a volcano
before it turns into ash
smoke of revenge chokes your life
douse the fire within
with tolerant forgiveness
virtue of divinity.

Pride
Pride one of the seven deadly sins
Where did it start
When will it end???

Can one say, "I LOVE YOU" 
and not feel weak?
Does it take an certain knid of knowlegde
or maybe just technique???

I have no answers to these questions
nor if it's even taught,
I do know this much
that it's worse than any cancer that people often caught!!!...

My 7 Sins
I'm Guilty of my Pride,
and Gluttony of Lust.
Envious of my Sloth of Wraith,
these seven I do trust.
I've built the walls I live within,
of my seven deadly sins,
Without a thought if they will stop,
all I knows that they've begin.
To take a toll upon my soul,
has if it even matters.
Sin is sin the course of men,
death shall surely follow......
