Deadly Sin #7

Envy, as defined by the poets dictionary.

Definition:

Some wounds so deeply seated

As to be enthroned

Waving scepter giving orders

From kingdom long outgrown.

Other definitions include: Wanting the neighbours grass for it is greener than your own, forgetting that grass will only ever be green when it is watered.

Contempt for what you have, hunger for what you don’t.

Green eyes making inventory on things not belonging to them.

A condition known to make content people steal.

Quicksand effect, rapidly turning to nothing what it has and lying in wait to lay its treacherous grip on whoever may come it’s way.

Antonyms include: Generosity, non materialistic, content, selfless, brown eyed.

Envy only seeks to cheat and steal to build itself up in it’s own mind. Imagine Pride with an inferiority complex that also has kleptomaniac tendencies.

Okay everybody just for your information I do intend to balance this list out with a similar one about the fruits of the spirit.

Deadly Sin #6

Gluttony, as defined by the poets dictionary.

Definition: Chasms called mouths always open and consuming. A need that’s never met for the ever unreasonable demands. Twisting natural appetites into power struggles, your tastebuds revolting over what once was good enough but now only offends.

Other definitions include: Appetite for appetite.

Hunger for an excess of something.

Particular desires met in particular ways, still never satisfy. Like filling a bucket with a hole in it, or planting in the garden where pests are known to ravage.

Antonyms: Satisfied, content, healthy appetite, “I’m full.”

Gluttony only seeks to put your desires just out of reach no matter how high you climb.

Deadly Sin #5

Greed, as defined by the poets dictionary.

Definition: Hungry hands with unnaturally sharp claws. An ever hungry need for more at the cost of anybody but yourself. Too many teeth for too small a meal, stealing your neighbours supper and still being unsatisfied.

Other definitions include: Unfulfilled desires fueled by diesel and fire.

Eight days a week insisting on nine, willing to kill to get it.

Coupon hoarding for the sale that’s never good enough.

Sharpening knives for the bones you make into broth. Elephant bone soup still insufficient.

Given enough weapons would invade every nation.

Given enough heat would boil the sea to make your tea.

Antonyms: Content, happy, at peace, needing nothing.

Greed only seeks to convince you that nothing about you or your life is enough.

Deadly Sin #4

Sloth, as defined by the poets dictioary.

Definition: To have one’s soul trapped in half set concrete. Wanting to move and able to move but the effort is beyond conception and eventually desire is too. Conforming to whatever mold you happen to find yourself in out of ease. Especially pernicious as being the most comfortable of the sins. Every tragedy, every dream, every ambition can be safely ignored with nothing more than a blanket and a pillow.

Other definitions include: Laziness.

A lack of interest in living.

To have had your blood swapped with a thick thick roux.

Some slip into it for a brief reprieve from calamity, and find themselves so sluggish that they can’t ever leave.

Antonyms: Vitality, energetic, productivity.

Slothfulness only seeks to ruin hearts by stagnation. To still the waters of your mind until they can nourish nothing at all and never feel another ripple at all no matter how one seeks to disturb them.
