The Deadliest Sin

Drugs and wealth and sex and power

Rising the ranks looking only to devour

Steady raising all of the stakes

Not thinking to pump the breaks

Burning out, raising a smoke

Fine line, a little poke

A drink here a drink there

One more pill, it's a dare

Keeping it going, high pace

Getting sloppy, leaving a trace

Dodging problems and their issues

Nose is runny get some tissues

As the great tower is almost completed

The building has stopped, workers feel cheated

Left to rot with no foundation

Doomed for eternal damnation

About the Creator

J. K. Anderson

A poet, author and journalist tied to the belief that Christ is YHWH. Open minded and eager to show my wild imagination to all people. I'm not a happy writer but I'm happy to write. All for fun.

Thanks for stopping by :)
