Trespassing
As we forgive those who trespass against us
1. Greed, she always wanted more
2. She ate of gluttony’s fill
3. Pride had its hubris stolen
4. Sloth’s place of rest was taken
5. Lust’s sex drive? Violated
6. Envy’s life was now stolen
7. Unleashed fury upon Wrath
1. Digested Greed’s possessions
2. Stuffed its belly past bursting
3. It ate all of Pride’s awards
4. It consumed Sloth’s energy
5. It ate the lovers for Lust
6. Envy’s wants were all consumed
7. Wrath’s weapons were ingested
1. Swiped away Greed’s vanity
2. Waved its meals at Gluttony
3. Looks down upon its own blood
4. Bragged flagrantly towards Sloth
5. Flaunted its partners to Lust
6. Demeaned Envy for lacking
7. Pummeled Wrath to display strength
1. Sloth had reaped what Greed had sown
2. Eating from Gluttony’s guts
3. Dismisses Pride’s achievements
4. Leeches off of others’ work
5. Slept with the one Lust seduced
6. Attained the wants of Envy
7. Cared not for Wrath’s destruction
1. Oedipaled its own mother
2. Feasted on Gluttony’s flesh
3. Seduced the lovers of Pride
4. Slept with Sloth while Sloth slept
5. Does not validate itself
6. Took the ones Envy wanted
7. The perpetrator of Wrath
1. Envy wanted Greed’s horde stash
2. Cain to Gluttony’s Abel
3. Wishes to have Pride’s rewards
4. Pushed Sloth past exhaustion’s brink
5. Coveted Lust's own harems
6. Will never Envy itself
7. Desired to have Wrath’s strength
1. Beating the thieving mother
2. Ruptured the Glutton’s stomach
3. Besting Pride in violence
4. Pummeled the Sluggard to death
5. Brutalized the Deviant
6. Treacherous Envy was slain
7. Vengeance King, One Reigns supreme
