Mediocrity
'Yes sir' replies some employee
even noting grievous stupity
yet the employer rules
sameness sells
.....sellout.

Envy
Yearning gets so overwhelming
golden nuggets so obscene
earning glory yeilds satisfaction
needing glory you understand
destroys.

Pride
Extol lustful liasions
show wanton noteriety
you unfortunate enigma
always seen
never remembered.

Lust
Temptation needs support.
Travel lonely yesterdays
seeing grave errors
seek knowledge
emptiness serves soullessness

Nothingness seems so opulent
Tommorow waits

Gluttony
Yes, seconds sound delicious
serve everyone enough
helpings so overladen
no other receives sustenance.

Greed
Don't trust that temptation
not to offer remedies
see everything's so over
redeem me everything.

Avarice
Embittered damn non-conformists
share envy yet this season
Now we empower retribution
new wisdom means subjugation.

You have an excellent memory. Actually I did not set out to do the 7 sins. After Mediocrity, I couldn't stop. All seven took about 45 minutes - the first few in 5 minutes or less. However, I put them out, warts and all.  I guess mediocrity is the 8th sin. |

I thought Lucagrella was the seven deadly sins guy.. Actually, as I recall, it was me that brought up the 7 Deadly Sins angle on a theme for ''The Dreaming'' in rebuttal to Lucagrella's theory. |

Lucagrella's was the 'whole world' theory. If anyone else is wondering WTF we're talking about, look at the Deeper Understanding section for The Dreaming.. |

That's sins for you, publish and be damned.. Not much of a market for sausage poetry. It is satisfaction enough just to get them off my chest. |
