Sometimes the sins laugh
frolic chuckle and gasp,
whenever wrath sits there
calm and tranquil, unending care.
when Pride takes precious time,
to look up and face humility,
to remove the thin veil,
to observe another person and care.
when slender lust embraces
for another, soothing the soul
creating safe sanctions - free of sale.
when g r e e d gives to charity,
providing,
safe havens,
when sloth feels the urge
to work, forging iron bars
and even making emotions and life time scars
when gluttony shares his
fries, and full course meal
when envy faces the sins - and says
‘it’s okay that lust is more curvy, I know I’m happy’
This is all a façade of course. envy said it with morose.
gluttony? He had another meal, and another meal right after that.
Mirrors reveal the real corpse. sloth daydreamed the dream.
greed? what else but the space he took?
How can we be something else. lust has lackluster snide, snark and ***
Pride? He has a deeper veil - one that escapes his avail.
Sometimes the sins want to be sinful.
And sometimes wrath wants to be wrathful.

I can't think about the time
I can't think, about the when
and more whens
the dos
and don'ts
the more offers of life
sad choices, words - such power
knife.
How can words, so shrewd and true
be compelling, and yet forgetting.
Please. Wont. No. Go.
harsher and harsher they get
Please. Dont. Go.
further and further they stretch
but to what effect,
we will never know
or worse,
Never. Know.
