I Can Only Pity You

1. Oh Greed, the one who wants more

2. Which one of us shall explore

3. Your being’s own cavernous depths

4. A thick darkness that lacks breath

5. Fear of lacking is your fright

6. Your hoard grows for your delight

7. You want, but do not need much

1. Gluttony, why stuff yourself?

2. You cannot truly enjoy

3. The finer things in this life

4. If you are filled with lesser

5. Gratifying fulfillment

6. You must learn how to discern

7. So you may enjoy your life

1. Pride, why only want the best?

2. What about the gifts you have?

3. Why do you act ungrateful?

4. You would be sad without them.

5. You should cherish you and yours

6. You know your time is constrained?

7. Achieve with an open hand

1. Sloth, why do you laze about?

2. There is so much before you.

3. You are not boastful like Pride.

4. You do desire so much more

5. Only to exchange for less

6. Be honest with what you want

7. What’s worthy is not easy

1. Lust, why is your heart empty?

2. Your loins are full to the brim.

3. You fear of being loveless.

4. You dream of copulating.

5. You wish for a legacy

6. Insatiable is your heart

7. Fix the hole in your Chalice

1. Envy, Greedy like its Mom

2. Do you hate all that you have?

3. Or, do you sense you’re lacking?

4. Recognize your abundance

5. Learn to satiate yourself

6. Find peace with what you do have

7. Find peace with who you are with

1. Wrath, you do not need to fight

2. Do not treat your enemies

3. Your attention has value

4. Energy is potential

5. For you to prove to yourself

6. That you master your domain

7. Work on bringing yourself up
