The Seven Deadly Sins

Vena Wolf

Wrath~

Anger, that is all I feel.

I want revenge, for them to feel the pain that I have,

But of what would be enough?

 

Gluttony ~

Food, that is all I crave.

This food, it will never be shared for it is all mine,

But of what would they eat?

 

Sloth~

Rest, that is all I want.

I will rest, for I am unwilling to do anything,

But of what would be done?

 

Envy~

Desire, that is all I feel.

I wish to be what they are, for why shouldn’t I be,

But of what would I be?

 

Lust~

Pleasure, that is all I crave.

This intimacy, for it is not real but gives me what I want,

But of what will be real?

 

Greed~

Theirs, that is all I  want.

I will get all that is yours, for it belongs to me,

But of what all will I have?

 

Pride ~

Praise, that is all i feel.

I have done this, accomplished this, for i am truly superior,

But of what have i truly done?

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem is of the seven deadly sins, I have recently ran into a rather rude person and I thought to myself "perhaps if I did a little research and found out what makes some people so hateful; then we could hopefully prevent it a little by knowing what types of thoughts to stay away from. " and so I did. So here it is, hope you all enjoy. God bless, Vena❤
