A person can’t hide their sins. Even behind closed eyes. For they tattoo themselves upon the face just as the clouds tattoo the skies.
You just need to read pass the surface. And get behind the lies. To demonstrate what happens when a fool abuses his pride.
By putting everything of importance aside. Focusing on oneself and leaving the others behind. Making sure you and what you lust for are of one mind.
And until the thirst for what you envy has been quenched. You’ll seek it until you go blind. And when you find you have it all.
The glutton within will make more room in time. For the greed only rises when it contaminates you inside. And those who attempt to tame your hunger.
Feel the force of your wrath when they collide. Finally you get to the point where your ego is the only thing that’s alive. And living your life through vice has left you slow and with out stride.
For everything you once were is now a memory seen through a sloths eye.
