Seven Sins

 

Be careful what you wish for

lustful eyes will leave you greedy for more

always wanting something else to devour,

will turn your heart sour

Pride transforms into a fall

you will envy one and all

gluttony never satisfies

the urge intensifies

feeding the wrath that rises

in slothful eyes

 

Be wary of envious ways,

or pretending to be someone you cannot be

you will emerge sloth like

closed off to life

pride will run you down

wrathful rage will scream around

and you will lust for more, greedy for a taste

gluttony... your own private prison cage

 

Be aware of the dangers that lurk,

in a hateful arrogant smirk

with conceit in contemptuous smiles

lechery not bound by mere miles

for avarice and selfishness will eat you whole

hatred and anger will poison your soul

and you will long for more and more

to fill the void and repair your core

 

Be courteous and kind

smile instead of hating the world you find

don't be boastful or vain

find glory from love, not monetary gain

be generous of heart,

a happy word cures the ill

don't long for your plate to spill

have gratitude for the beauty that fills
