Seven Deadly Sins

Here's a quick story,
Of the Seven Deadly Sins
Now pay attention mind you
Because it could help you in the end

So it begins,
Let us list them without doubt
One by one,
Singling none out

They are all equally dangerous,
In their own unique way
One being hazardous as the next,
If you're not careful, you just might dearly pay

Let's begin with Lust,
Overwhelming desire for bodily beauty
I personally know someone guilty of this,
And they are not going to end up being too happy

Next we have Envy,
Desire for something another person has
That's about all there is to it
But do not think it will just past

Here we have Gluttony,
The habit or act of eating or indulging too much
Usually what you'll end up doing,
Is giving your stomach a clutch

Are you with me so far?
Paying close attention?
I'd hope you are,
Because they are not yet all mentioned

Wrath isn't a good thing,
Intense anger and hatred
It can make you loose trust,
Something one should dread

This one not as serious,
As the other sins
Sloth this one's called,
Laziness is where it begins

A sad one this can be,
Greed it is named
Disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason,
Can result in villainous fame

At the end of the list
Only one remains
The one called Pride
A sin especially vain

Pride can be considered,
The sin the others derive from
It is a sin of desire to be more important or attractive than others
Something that bluntly is dumb

Failing to give compliments to others,
Though they may be deserving of them
Is not a fine thing to do,
You could end up condemned

Now you've heard a story,
Of the seven deadly sins
Take heed to this warning,
So that none of them shall begin
