HATRED

I am one of the Seven Deadly Sins,
And you know what I am capable of.
For I am a human instinct,
And yet a daemon from the Pit,
And you must beware of me,
For I can kill you in the end.

I am the reason
You hold a grudge against your friend,
For I am the reason you cannot forgive him,
And I am also the reason why you murdered
The man who wronged you in plain sight.

I am the reason
That Jacob and Esau fought so
Badly and yet held a grudge.
I am also the reason why Cain and Abel
Did not get along,
And why Cain murdered Abel,
His own brother.

I am the reason why the Israelites
Made the Golden Calf
While Moses was going to get the Ten Commandments,
For they hated Moses being gone,
And they thought that the Lord was not with them.
They thought He had
Abandoned them.

I am the reason why Jonah suffered,
For he hated the Ninevites
And everything they stood for,
Since he was also a coward
When God called upon him.

I am the reason why many of the prophets
Were persecuted
For the Israelites
Were afraid of what God
Was trying to tell them.

I am also the reason why the Samaritans
Had conflicts with the Jews,
For the Jews did them wrong,
And the Samaritans lived their own lives
Of ungodliness and everything.

I am also the reason why Joseph
Was betrayed by his brothers,
For they hated him
And sold him into slavery,
Just because of his technicoloured
Coat from his father Jacob.

I am the reason why Jesus died on the cross,
For the Pharisees hated Him,
And everything He preached,
And everything He told people.

I am also the reason why St. Paul,
Who was formerly Saul,
Killed so many of the early Christians,
For he hated them so much,
That he did not care what he did to them at all.

And I am also the reason why you hate your friend so much,
For he betrayed you,
Deceived you,
And lied about you.
He took your girlfriend,
The love of your life,
And you cannot forgive him.
In fact, he married
Your fiancee,
That woman you loved so much,
You cannot forgive your friend because
You gave in to me.
You cannot forget about the pain,
And that is the truth.

That is the truth of it all.

So don't give in to me,
Whatever you do,
For I will take pleasure in your pain,
And will bring your soul to the Pit,
For believe me,
I am merciless,
And you do not want to be infected with me,
Tainting every aspect of your life.

PRIDE

I am one of the Seven Deadly Sins,
One of the human instincts,
One of the dark sides of human nature,
And one of the daemons from the Pit.

You may find me in your life
If you are narcissistic,
If you are selfish,
If you are pompous,
Stuck-up,
Snotty,
Snobbish,
Self-centred,
Rude,
Snarky,
Self-serving,
Sarcastic,
Elitist,
Or just plainly proud.

I am the reason you may brag
All the time,
And why people do not like
To be around you.

I am the reason that you
Always have to be the centre
Of every conversation,
Because you think
You are so important.

I am the reason that you
Like to show off all the time,
Because you think you have all the moves,
And that everyone loves you for it.

I am the reason that
You like to look at yourself
In the mirror,
Because you think you
Are so good-looking,
That you cannot
Get enough of yourself.

I am the reason
You cannot have a stable
Relationship,
Because you think the ladies love you,
And you think you have all the
Stupid pick-up lines,
And you think you're so good-looking,
But you do not realise
That you are a complete jerk.

I am the reason you are so pompous,
Because you think you are so special,
And you think you are so better than everyone else,
That you go around
Feeling good about yourself.

You see, my friend,
I am the reason that Lucifer fell.
Why Hitler fell,
Why Stalin died,
Why Julius Caesar was assassinated,
Why Cain did not take responsibility
For his actions,
And why Ramses suffered agony
When Moses was escaping from Egypt.

You see, my friend,
Your life is tainted with me,
And pretty soon you will be miserable,
And it will amuse me to see you tortured,
For I must admit,
It will get fun.

I will eventually kill you,
Since I am deadly,
Working like a poison through your veins,
Affecting your mind,
Poisoning it,
And drugging it,
And killing brain cells in the process.
And then I will reach for your heart,
Where I shall kill you in your sleep,
For your heart,
Which is almost none,
Shall stop.

For you who are clean of us,
Beware of us,
For we are deadly,
And will poison you in whatever
Way we can,
So beware of what we are capable of,
And beware of our presence,
For if we get to you,
There is no escaping us.

LUST

Oh, how you look at her,
You know you want her,
Don't you?
Yes, you do,
For she's the girl of your dreams.

I am one of the Seven Deadly Sins,
One of the dark sides of human nature,
One of the natural human instincts,
One of the daemons from the Pit;
I will tell you that
I am a great feeling to have,
And you know it, too.

I have infected the life
Of every teenage boy,
Making him want whatever girl
He desires,
Including the most popular girl
In the school.

Middle schoolers are so easy,
For they are so stupid,
They always fall for me,
And they do horrible things
That are a taboo in this poem.

I can also affect high schoolers,
But they are more mature,
So they become shameful
When they deal with me.

However, I may have affected
You, too, for all you know.
You really wanted that girl badly,
So you started stalking her,
And started creeping on her.

Eventually, you got to her,
And you did horrible things to her,
And I need not mention the things you did,
But you feel ashamed of what you did.

You eventually compensated for my infection,
And then you fell in love,
And yet you were infected with me again.
Except this time,
The woman loved you back.

You dated this woman,
And you eventually married her,
And then you eventually
Got what you wanted,
That desire,
Which you love so dearly.

You had the greatest wife ever,
But then you aged,
And then you found another woman,
And your life was tainted with me again,
And you went after the girl,
And you committed adultery,
Cheating on your own wife.

It is because of me that you are so miserable,
For you lost your wife,
And your children,
Whom you abused
Because of my brother Wrath,
So you know that you lost your family
Because of me.

Whenever you get me,
You always go for the first
Woman you see,
The one you think is perfect for you,
And you get what you want,
But you can never get love,
So you are miserable,
Living an unhappy life,
Much like Ernest Hemingway did.

Now, all of you
Who were not infected by me,
You are probably safe for now,
But be careful,
For either my brothers or I
Will infect you,
And we will taint your lives,
And eventually kill you.
There is a reason why they call us deadly,
And I am pretty sure you know.
So be careful,
For we may just get to you first.

GREED

Do you want everything in life?
Do you always want everything?
Anything you can ever imagine?

My friend, I am your worst enemy.
I am the reason you are
So materialistic and so miserable,
For you know that I am
One of the Seven Deadly Sins,
And you know that I will kill you
Eventually,
And it amuses me to see you suffer.

All you want is money
And more money,
And you want the newest car,
The newest cell phone,
Expensive watches,
The newest TV,
The newest appliances,
The new iPad,
And the new iPhone.

Money is your god,
And you have forgotten about Him,
The one who has given you everything,
The one who is the reason you exist today,
The One who created you,
The Almighty Lord in Heaven,
The One who loves you most.

You forgot about Him,
And He misses you so dearly,
And yet you are so miserable,
That you gave in to me,
One of Lucifer's Servants,
Who knows what is best.

You pompous little fiend, you,
You know that you are miserable,
And you know that you can find no love
Or happiness in this world because
You gave into me,
A dark side of human nature,
A demon from the Pit.

It amuses me to see you miserable,
But you keep wanting more and more,
And money just does not cut it,
For you keep buying new things every time
They come out,
For you, my friend,
Are as unhappy as can be.

I take pleasure from your pain,
And I am sure that you are aware of that,
So, my friend, you will suffer,
Just like everyone else did.
Beware of me, all of you out there,
Who have not suffered me or my brothers,
For you know what could happen to you,
If you were to come across us.
