I’m the first of seven
I want everything in the world
No matter what I want it
I’m truly Greed

The second am I
Eating and eating more
Never slowing, never full
Gluttony is who I am

I’m third in the group
The ever-raging anger
A truly deadly killer instinct
That is I Wrath

I hold the fourth spot
Slow moving, slow working
First to give up on a job
Slow Sloth is I

Fifth is who I be
I love to kiss and love
I’m a little forward
Who am I but, Lust

Six is my number
I always want what others have
In legend I’m monster not man
Green Beast envy is me

Seventh is where I stand
I think I’m always right
And I’m quick to boast
Most deadly Pride who else

We seven spread fear
We live in human souls
But we are defeated by
The wise and the old


The author's comments:
I wrought this poem based off the Seven sins in religion. I thought it would be interesting to describe them as people. The question is do you see yourself in any?
