7 Sins (that don't compare to deadly)

poet Anonymous

Poetry Contest

a comical spin on the 7 Deadly Sins
**Today is Sunday and I'm feeling evil.  Maybe living in the middle of the fucking desert doesn't help!  Okay, here's another comp!**



See SINS listed below in example

Pick 1 or all of the 7 Deadly Sins and write a poem or a phrase

You can enter each Sin individually or bundle them together

Any Length, Any Style (but for those who know me, I'm a HUGE fan of short poetry but I do occasionally make the exception for lengthy poetry)

No Entry Limit (in other words, if you want to write about Wrath seven times, then by all means go for it!  Hell!  If you want to write about each Sin seven times, then more power to you!)

One Week To Complete

Have Fun!



-------------
example:

ENVY - How in the hell am I suppose to envy what others don’t have?

GLUTTONY - If I bit more than I could chew, I wouldn’t have any teeth
.  
GREED - Everyone else has everything else, so why can’t I?

LUST - Just because I have a pussy doesn’t mean I have to satisfy it every second I have a sexual thought.

PRIDE - Who needs it in these times.  Beg for money.  Drink out of a used cup.  Pick up a penny.  Squat piss on a tree.

SLOTH - Isn’t everyone at six in the morning?

WRATH - If I spend all day plotting an economical revolution then I wouldn’t have time writing shit that doesn’t sell such as this shit!

Seven

I, quite frankly, lust for your body
My pussy is greedy to feel your cock embedded inside
There is an ongoing war between my mouth and my pussy
Some envy there
When you are in one
The other desires your
Presence
I fear the left-out orifice experiences wrath
I am a glutton for you
For your attentions
I feel no shame in admitting this
Indeed, I am abandoned in my ardor for you
So much so that when we are satiated, replete at last
I collapse in utter sloth
Reposing like Sleeping Beauty
Until your return...

Envious

he wished he had more money
than the guy flashing it all
in front of him
pay he must but should he flash

the notes tens and twenties
fifties and damn, hundreds
why didn't he have more
he must be a drug dealer

he must have killed the paymaster
and took the money in a suitcase
stashed it away somewhere
to be collected later that day

he killed the girlfriend too
taken all her jewelries
plus a tutu or two
he looked like a pansy

all the money must be from somewhere
damn it he should have a little of that
waylay this man, and kick his ass
and take all his money away

"Next!" says the nurse
and he forgot the money
he hated needles
his STD jab was getting painful.

The 5

Called forth and formed a communion with pride
to never stand down, never let the slightest of slights slide

Envy and I see eye to eye
Today we are covetous of the very sky

So says greed It should be mine, mine to feed
this all consuming gluttonous empty need

The wrath in me demands it should be easily reached
fuck limitations, barriers will be breached

Stand the fuck back and watch in awe
as I in my wrath destroy everything that lay in my path

until that one fleeting beautiful moment I feel alive
It is always the same progression, so long as I am in possession of the 5

ENVY OF EVE

Oh, Eve!
You know not how you’ve offended me
So happily married
Living by the sea
With two children
Ages one and three

Eve, must you be
So ostentatious flamboyantly
Go-lucky carefree?
Caring-on without
Any sense of humility
Nor decorum or dignity

Eve, don’t misconceive
You will not provoke my jealousy
For its not you I wish to be
It’s your husband Steve
That I envy
Because you married him
Instead of me

Lust
My lust is fuelled by the thought
That it will fade with age
If you don't use it,you'll lose it
So it's necessary to engage

So far my tackle functions well
Stimulated by much use
I'm very lucky that I have found
Enough women to seduce

poet Anonymous

Level jumpers

They seek that covetous driving primal force of empty hedonism

That breeds in and of itself an inherent mistrust

and in the aftermath of an immediate pure disgust

Desire is an unruly beast

That gorges on the scraps of what was once an opulent feast

Seek your sin of lust elsewhere---We don't fucking care in the least

You stupid asshole, you are in the wrong level this one is reserved for only the wrathful

8th Deadly Sin

you grazed my lips
a sex crazed kiss
and felt my wrath
that you call bliss

took me all in
more than you need
left none to share
obsessed with greed

kept you in bed
all day and night
a sloth, a haze
that you won’t fight

you tote me through
each place in stride
hope they all see
me, you with pride

longingly watch
from far away
lust after me
beg me to stay

can’t get enough
ingesting still
glutton’s surpass
far past their fill

now, I’m in love
with someone new
you envy him
with all you do

commit to these
not just seven
for I’m the eighth
deadliest sin

LUST FOR YOU

The planetary alignments this year have really screwed with me
Lust is my constant companion and you my constant need
Your lips on mine, whichever ones you choose, is something so divine
Having you inside of me is what I desire
I can never get enough of you
So keep spreading me with your lust my love
For I will never deny what you or I desire

I want it all to be mine
All the money
All the women
All the power
All the say
Mine
There will never be enough
Never
to fill this hole in my heart
In my soul
I'm empty
And these material things
Seem to please me
If only for a second
for a moment
it feels more then nothing
It's something
And I want everything
Don't tell me no
I live for the show
For who?
Not you
Not my fellow man
But me
Or so I think
In reality
I'm pleasing no-one
And destroying all
On my journey
for everything
Everything
That isn't mine
to begin with

Here is one I published about a year ago

Although she was prone to  gluttony
Her waist line was her pride
Men paid her to fulfil their lust
This satisfied her greed
Some wives expressed their wrath
Some others it was envy
But they all showed their  sloth
And let her off scot free

poet Anonymous


Sinfully Delightful

I envy your ability to play it cool when I burn
my own gluttony a pitfall you look beyond
because
only greed assembles these thoughts and breeds desire
my growing lust hidden behind my dwindling pride
at your feet
refusing to rise
another sloth on a sinful climb to the top of nowhere
wearing wrath the way some don their favorite color

you're a prayer and I'm a sinner preying
waiting
for Armageddon with my fancy first class ticket
to heaven

Shedding the Sins


Green eyed monster emerge, as I ‘envy’ those who defy the laws of calories
jealous of their affairs with fried foods and chocolates; fondling ‘gluttony’
over-indulging appetites, followed by wallowing in ‘sloth’; sluggishly
laying around, allergic to exercising, yet they never gain a pound
I ‘lust’ for their metabolism, desiring genes that would approve
eating pie late at night without waking up with an extra-ass,
double wide; stirring the ‘wrath’ in me, angry with crunches
and weights, succumbing to Tae bo and Pilates because my
‘pride ‘suggest that I maintain a size that I’m proud of;
conducive to the clothes hanging in my closet because
‘greed’ says my money is funny and my coinage, low
and there’s no way in hell my bank account can
handle a new wardrobe of plus sized clothing

A Sinners Guide.

Embrace your lust as a lover not yours.
Do nothing to attain the lofty heights of sloth,
and then you get it.
Parent envy as one does by pitting one against each.
Feed everything into the hungry mouth of gluttony, especially lust.
Then
Get greed as a present for your friends you may steal later.
Unleash your wrath with in ice, that you may...
Take pride in all of these not-so-amazing accomplishments.

WORLD OF SIN

Riding forth
On the hot winds of Hell
Darkest one
With no soul to sell
I am sin
Born of your freewill cost
Blackest heart
The staining of the cross

Rise above
The tethers of this world
Becoming
More than pain untold
I am hell
Casting my influence
Broken will
From Heaven’s downfall since

Who am I?
The pride that you envy
Your lust and gluttony
Greedy and a sloth
But most of all
I am Wrath!

Oh my God
Damn your petty wishes
Let loose and
Revel in the ashes
What is God
But misunderstanding?
There’s no rules
Open your arms to me

Do your every wish to find
A way from these fucking shackles?
Let loose all of the restraints
And come with me
Take my hand in this world of sin

Jesus died
To save you from your sins
I have lived
To bring them again
Protection
From what you want the most?
We are sin
In the eye of the ghost

Who am I?
The pride that you envy
Your lust and gluttony
Greedy and a sloth
But most of all
I am Wrath!
