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

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!

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)
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?

this unkind rude world
trying to taking you on
blazes the fire of anger
mind a volcano

smoke of revenge chokes your life
douse the fire within
with tolerant forgiveness
virtue of divinity.

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...
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

==============================
out back of the barn
I watch you hitch a wagon
to the fine draft mare
your last harvest bought
'tis I would be behind her,
had I seen her first
(and had I a cart)
while you travel in comfort,
I ruin my good feet
why should she be yours??

Ah Anger! One of the seven deadly sins
A scourge that ravages the mind of man,
Alas! In an imperfect world only evil wins
A tiny spark consumes the forest in fire,
Peace prevails when he reins in his ire.
So why would I look back in anger
to recall with woe my wandering past?
No, I’ll not go there to find an answer;
Now my future must dawn with a new hope
before my time reaches the end of the rope.
Animalistic in behavior
seeded by hungers need
deep within the confines of your body
dangerous wild attraction
banged into my twisted mind
pleading for my own release.

sin so seemingly harmless
offending no one
sloth hides behind selfish smiles
feigning pain or pitiful
preening and purring
inside it acquiesces
accepting of assistance
sighing it lays back
secure in the knowledge
others will carry its load
it is the knowing
which renders it so deadly

“One of the Seven Deadly Sins”

You're Pandemic, You're Pandemic.
Your Infection grows an expiration.
You have come from Wuhan.
And have destroyed All Jahan.
O Man! Your seven deadly Sins.
Ah! Allah has given you a comeuppance.
Because of your Avarice.
You became a bad choice.
Oh man! your lust
Giving you a dust!
O Man! You showed your ignorance.
And Almighty Allah showed His violence!
This Corona has only one solution.
That's do pray with a passion.
A night slipped away,
one wept to sleep, one had bunches to dream.
A couple of lines the poet wrote,
nothing that the muse saw.
Three simple words kept the lovelorn up,
four texts sent for a clueless hope.
If love has numbed five senses,
then the sixth one will be gifted.
The seven deadly sins, hunger for love could be all.
The ninth day of forlornness ate the soul up,
isn’t it already a punishment?
Perhaps the love in October was forever a torment.
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 glutinous span of greed and desire
While my feelings turn from desperation to you burning alongside me in the fire
And I give up, because what is there left on this earth for me?
