The Vice series

GLUTTONY

 

 

Go ahead and gorge yourself upon gallons of gaudy garments,

Gaining more weight got by galling garish goods I guess won’t

Ground

 

Let loose to the luscious luxuries of lackluster lemon and

Lots of lulling bedtime letters that will surely let at bay the

Ladies

 

Unravel your unctuous mind and unwrap the unstoppable urge

That undeniably lives under unruly layers of

Unproductive

 

Together bring the talk of taking another tackle to your taciturn tally,

Taller the score and take down the tormenting tickling

Tack

 

Over and over in obscure ovals until objective becomes apparent

Only leaving orbs of former obliqueness’ obliging to

Object

 

Never again nourish the need to negate the null to nonsense,

Leave behind the knots of then and live the neat of

Now

 

Yesterday was yellow in yielding to yearning and

Today is your yet to the question of no or

Yes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GREED

 

 

 

Gradualy every great thing grounded in your gaudy life will grain,

Falling from grander to

Greed

 

Run away you realize will render you ridiculously reeled

Be the regal recall of natures

Ranting

 

Even then elude the everlasting elasticity of your sins

Only to elect your own faults and

edict

 

Evermore entrapped in the entity of your greed which eels

Its way through your

Etiquettes

 

****** to depths of hell’s dungeons you will go down

If you never fix your

Deeds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WRATH

 

 

 

Wound so tightly your will won’t save you when the

Day weans of light to

Wear

 

Repent all you require if you really must, no reprise

Will be your

Reward

 

Again and again you’ve all but alleged all of your agitations

And now do you

Abject

 

Too many you take to the top and through to the terrible

Tale of

Tartaras

 

How do you have your hallowed hot-headed hate now

Had by all you

hocked

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SLOTH

 

 

 

Silently slithering fangs strike and pierce into your supple skin

The serpent of Hades himself forcing you to succumb to

your sloth

 

Legs let leave your longing to linger standing

The lull of the luscious leisure of laziness

Calling you

 

Over and over you omit the need to oblige

Object the obscurities and overcompensate the

obligation

 

Though it takes away tell of your toes, stunning your talk

Teathering you to a tree and leaving you to the

terrors

 

However hollow the halo, the hearth of hasty hearts, may be,

you cannot halt it before is has you in its hold

sleep

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LUST

 

 

Linger in line a little longer until your litenous lust

lessens to lethargic

larceny

 

Undone and unset you undermind your unity

and uncite all uncertainty, understand to this

ulcer

 

Slung across a slat singing sultry in your stipple,

you slew to sound off your

sanity

 

Taught thoughtless logic tenderly apply topical treatment

to tape together the tatters, tonight a temporary

Tylenol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ENVY

 

 

 

Eject and exact illusions of elected goals eluding your reason

So eject them for

Ever

 

Never return, never negate the negligence of this nuisance,

Need it

Not

 

Vanquish your venomous vicarious visions so vivid

I assure you not very

Vivid

 

Yearn no more and yearn by years how yellow

Can yell the

Yetti

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRIDE

 

 

 

Perniciously palpable pigs of pride that so prate way their progress,

Putting all but prosperity in their own

Propensity

 

Ridiculously cold rendering the most righteous of realist,

Even relenting to the racketeering of a

Rider

 

I too see an iota of insolence in intemperate impostors

Of what internal instances tell us is

Intimidating

 

Down the street dally a day and discover how detrimental

Such a disease dilutes the delineation of our past

Delegation

 

Even if one ever eludes the elasticizes of this eccentric extortionist

Eventually another will emit it upon to you again

entirely
