User blog:Scarletta Agni/The Seven deadly Sins (poem)

First came Lust, blooming like the Flower

Loving with love and a bit more

But with that bit more rose a lust for power

Lust became a sinful desire amongst the romance-poor

 Second came Gluttony, growing like the Seed

Food is necessary and a human need

But eat too much, too fast, or with fuss of the taste

A good pure life you have just put to waste

 Third came Vanity, shining like the Stone aglow

Being happy about something you’ve done is all fine and dandy

But insisting everyone’s love and attention is what they owe

Then you are as rotten as what happens to teeth when met with candy

 Fourth came Sloth, slowly ambling like the Wind

<p style="text-align:center;">A bit of rest to think is not a sin

<p style="text-align:center;">But procrastinate until your life does not matter

<p style="text-align:center;">I couldn’t think of a thing any sadder

<p style="text-align:center;"> <p style="text-align:center;">Fifth came Envy, swirling like the Spring

<p style="text-align:center;">Hoping to become as good as your neighbor is not an unusual thing

<p style="text-align:center;">But taking it from them to better yourself is a cruel act

<p style="text-align:center;">An envious person is a malevolent serpent, this is fact

<p style="text-align:center;"> <p style="text-align:center;">Sixth came Greed, which rose from the Soil

<p style="text-align:center;">Enjoying your pay is not strange after plenty of toil

<p style="text-align:center;">But waste your time on metals and materials for your avarice to feed

<p style="text-align:center;">There is no engulfing fire like Greed

<p style="text-align:center;"> <p style="text-align:center;">Seventh, last not least, is Wrath, sprouting up like the Forest

<p style="text-align:center;">Under reasons, emotional release is alright

<p style="text-align:center;">But too much will set your heart and everything you love alight

<p style="text-align:center;">Slaying what angers you is not best

<p style="text-align:center;">For ridding of what ails you will not rid of your rage

<p style="text-align:center;">It will forever form your mental cage

<p style="text-align:center;"> <p style="text-align:center;">And so the Sins came to existence and spread like ash in the Wind <p style="text-align:center;">It planted itself in everyone like the Seed would to Soil within

<p style="text-align:center;">Hidden deep under are a few Stones waiting to be told who is truly the best

<p style="text-align:center;">Lying deep, deep in the gentle Forest

<p style="text-align:center;">From buried Seed comes the Flower

<p style="text-align:center;">Which derive their water from the Spring

<p style="text-align:center;">Thank you for lending your ears for a short hour

<p style="text-align:center;">And beware the Seven Deadly Sins, for a sin is a terrible thing.
