What is my name? In many lives I reign and countless lives I have drained even though they try to abstain, I can be a hell of a strain, What is my name?

People will rise me very high, even the richest try to justify by putting me on a pedestal knowing I'm the biggest lie. Who am I ? Can you exclaim my name.

I'm called fame because by any means I'm attained and for that reason I'm also called a low down ***** shame.

For lives I do disrupt and I can be quite abrupt, so I'm labeled Corrupt. Now when you attempt to succeed I will send people with speed just to impede. So I'm called Greed.

As well as mistrust, making countless relationships go bust. I make you covet each other's soul mates, I'm called Lust.

You see, I will work for you like a Jinn, make your wishes come true then bring you to an abrupt end because I'm not your friend, I'm simply here to do you in.

Only The Holy Bible calls me by my true name. Now what is my name???
