7 Deadly Sins

Pride

I don’t need your God
Your God needs my approval
I’m The Great I Am

Greed

Oil wealth is the goal
Ravage their land and spill blood
The point must be clear

Envy

Life just isn’t fair!
On this Earth, tint means struggle
I wish I was White

Wrath

My husband beats me
God’s vengeance was less than swift
Blood pours from his head

Lust

I’ve got to have it
Whether her or him or them
Disease - I give all

Gluttony

I sniff so much coke
I have a hole through my nose
blackened with cancer

Sloth

I have never worked
Stayed with Mom until her death
Can I stay with you?
