The deadly 7

7 of the most deadly sins, lurk and inhabit us all within.
No one is immune, of it's venomous wrath. Humane nature not an obstacle in its path.
Although we are made out of love, we are born into sin. Nothing more deadly than the living and breathing!!!
Let me introduce you to pride, a funny thing we all know, yet hide. Pride is the deadliest of them all, many a man live, truly a man fall. Pride is so hurtful in many ways.
It takes recognition away, competitively displayed.
In this materialistic world, we live in. Envy is shrewd, so we may not see it coming. Unknowingly to us or the victims it harbors. Resents the good, seen in others.
To have everything, in abundance & never satisfied, is truly gluttony. With "big" gleaming eyes.
Wanting something purely for our own pleasure & satisfaction. Lust has no love, or emotional attachment.
In a twinkle of an eye, anger can trigger a sad goodbye. Many have died at the hands of this trait. Love turned to anger, can determine another's fate.
Obtaining all the possetion's of wealth & fortune. Greed sadly strips us, of our salvation, with distortion. Physical things that we need at present, vanish away with irrelevance.
Working for what we want to achieve, there's no place for sloth, and it's unmotivated deeds....
