A Tale of Seven

In the abyss of darkness

There lie the seven sins

Each not so deadly when alone

These are the seven vices each one of us holds

First is the green eyed bitter greed

Ever so present in all of us

Then the pride, arrogance blind

Hubris's fall is a lesson to us mankind

Lust so beautiful and sweet

Until it stings and bleeds your heart

Desire no less, forever felt

It's grasp, virtue maimed

As gluttony comes knocking at your door

Your soul shall turn dark and cold

Envy's red gaze enters slowly

Beware of it for it will kill your friendship 

Wrath, a storm and anger together unleashed

Destruction follows and hearts are breached

Last comes the sloth,often forgotten

A slumber that makes dreams decay

Beware of these seven sins

A treacherous thing that ordinarily breaks hearts

A perfidious art created to deceive humans

And every one of us falls into its trap
