Seven Deadly Sins

by Spirit   Sep 9, 2007


Of the seven deadly sins,
which one do I choose?
Which one of the seven,
do I always use?

I'm greedy when what I want
is money from the bank.
So I shall get what I desire,
but you I'll never thank.

Envious, is my name
whenever you I will not let,
keep your hands on something
that I will never get.

Pride? who says I'm proud?
Is knowing your better wrong?
It's not my fault I'm perfect,
they've known it all along.

Sloth, don't make me move
work I can not keep.
Why don't you just go away
so peacefully I'll sleep?

Lustful, Oh what's wrong with that
beauty I've always had.
Is wanting to show everyone
really all that bad?

Ah, gluttony a favorite choice
for when i like to eat,
cause always having food around
is something you can not beat.

So No! I have not finished yet!
One more I've left to say!
My wrath makes me hate you!
No I'll leave you can stay!

(For all those who've had "that kind of day", don't let it bother you and worry about revenge latter.)

    "Pride? who says I'm proud?

    ^^ Hahaha, that made me giggle for some reason, maybe I just have a twisted sense of humor.

    I enjoyed this, I thought it was wonderfully created and original, and very powerful and intense throughout.

    Flow was great throughout the whole piece and the imagery was wonderfully displayed.

    The rhetorical questions in this piece really engaged me. I like the poem very much and I also had a "that kind of day" and I can relate it well :)

    5/5 all the way
