The 7 Odd Family Relations

(¯`v´¯)
`*.¸.*´

In a competitive world,
lust is a must!
Without it-
the human race would end,
tho sometimes it's painful-
other times it's a delight,
still lust is a must!!


Gluttony sneaks in,
right around the corner-
walking past trash,
instead of picking it up-
I stuff it in my mouth,
and want more.

My dear friend is greed,
this is why I work-
day in and day out.
It makes me zealous,
without it-

I wouldn't have anything.

At the end of the day ,
I'm drained from greed.
I still want more,
leading me to exhaustion-
I become,
a victim of sloth-
because,
I still don't have anything,
and stagger on feeling numb....

 

I think more of,
what I don't have-
wrath comes out to play,
making me hate all...
they all have something I don't!!
I'd do anything for it...

Inside greed starts building up,
I want to be like them.
I long for their life-
I even want their soul!
All be damned if I am going to sit,
and wait for them to give it to me-
If I want it then it's mine,
no one can stop me-

not even this gold trophy,

that I'm working for-

I know it's mine anyway...


I know that I can have everything,
anything within my reach is mine!
Some may call it pride...
but I call it lessons in humility-
because they suffer not me 

Everyday is repeated-

the same way,
in the end-

I lack nothing!

    This was an excellent poem! Usually long ones bore me unless they have an amazing message or rhythm. This one I read straight through with eagerness!

    Excellent write- full of honesty. Great work!
