Seven Deadly Sins

Which one do you live with?

By Terowi MarshallPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Envy, sloth, gluttony, pride, wrath, greed, lust; pick your poison

No one's better than their deadly sins, for we all become each one in this lifetime

Whether for an eternity, or just a day; no one is safe

As Envy is jealous of Greed as he Lusts for Pride and feels Wrath when Sloth won't catch up with time and Gluttony feeds off of the despair they bring upon the world

They just can't help but cause chaos; that's what they were made for

Causing hate because Pride feels wrath because him and Greed are gluttons or sex so they lust over a girl they can't get

Because she wants to be loved...

Then Envy feels wrath for working all day but not getting paid like his greedy CEO

And Wrath robs the bank as he remains envious of those who got it made enough too feed their greed and stuff their faces

The there's Lust with her high heels, thinking she's going places as she strips to get the greedy green even though she doesn't need it; keeping up with the lifestyle I guess

All the while Gluttony is up at 2 AM trying to find a place that delivers because he's too sloth to make food he already has and becomes angry the more his stomach growls

While Sloth is standing by...doing nothing

So, as we struggle daily with each of these, we must remember not to judge. Because we are all carrying a deadly sin

Which one is yours?
