Pride, Greed, Lust

Commonly called 7 Capital Sins or 7 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.
Green cloud blinds reason
Wishing someone else treasures
Cloaking the soul with venom

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!

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.

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

(Matthew 15:19)
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.

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?
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
ACTUAL SIN OR DAILY SINS
"Actual sin is any willful thought
Desire
Word
Action
Omission forbidden by the law of God
"The chief sources of actual sin, pride
Covetousness or materialism
Lust
Anger
Gluttony or Greed
Envy
Sloth or Laziness
These are commonly called capital sins or Deadly sins
We need sorrow for our sins
Means turning away from evil and turning to Eternal God
Sins may be mortal or venial sins
Mortal is gravely sins
Venial is daily that pertain 7 Deadly Sins
Perfect Contrition arises from the love of Eternal God
This loving sorrow remits venial sin or mortal sins

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

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!!!
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...
Two kinds of sin are Original
Actual
Original sin is from our first parent disobedience
Actual sin has two types Mortal sin
Venial, daily or 7 Capital/Deadly Sins
Chief Sources of Actual Sin
Pride, Covetousness, lust, anger
Gluttony, Envy and Sloth or Laziness
Vices are Humility, Liberty, Chastity
Meekness, Temperance and Brotherly love

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.

Edward Ibeh's One Of the 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
Form:
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

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
