My first attempt at free form. Companion piece to "Virtue" |
Companion piece to "Virtue" Envy Jealous of what someone else might own Causes seeds of discontentment to be sown Don't covet anyone else's things It's not worth the unhappiness it brings Gluttony Always hungry, always eating Never sated, never fleeting Don't wait until you're off the bluff Know when to say you've had enough Greed Money's not the only vice For which this sin exacts a price Always determined to get more Will cost you in this spiritual war Lust Characterized by intense desires Fanned flames and burning fires Weakness leads you to enmesh In sins of the mortal flesh Pride The original sin of vanity Is most likely to challenge your sanity The one from which other sins spring And the one with the sharpest sting Sloth Some may think you're kind of crazy For desiring to be a little lazy Just don't let it get out of hand Lest your responsibilities go unmanned Wrath Roiling anger, wretched hate Often carries heavy weight It can be difficult to offload Once you've let it corrode ------------------------------ (35 lines, free form) |
