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❤
