Seven Deadly Sins
Which one do you live with?
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?
