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.

Premium Member Covetousness

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

Premium Member Greed


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!

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.

Covetousness

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

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

Premium Member 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.

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...

Premium Member Anger

Words of venom spew
as cruelty of rage flames…
 piercing hearts of innocence

   This devious sin
releases the beast within
 … to heighten ire of demons

   Instead,choose kindness
beware the razor-sharp tongue
 … for verbal bouts kill one’s peace.

7 Deadly Sins

Being lazy
Getting hazy
Always crazy
Die from sloth
Getting fat
Being hungry
Seeing crack
Die from gluttony
Not complex
Having sex
Without latex
Die from lust
For thyself
Don't need help
No problem
Die from pride
So much anger
You're a banger
Do the math
Die from wrath
It's not enough
To want too much
Want everything
Die from greed
Jealousy
Will get you
Nowhere
Die from envy

Premium Member Gluttony

ghastly gluttony 

one of seven deadly sins
with appalling good reasons

total self disrespect 
abusing one's own body
that wonderful mechanism

no remorse no thought
millions starving and dying

balancing haves and have nots

Choking Envy

envy germinates
in deep soil of discontent
and is quenched by acid rain

nourished by malice
its emerald suckers spread
and sap resentment's rich source

it may lie dormant
or fester in toxic thoughts
till re-kindled by desire

envy chokes the soul
ever left dissatisfied
it shall end its days alone
