Seven

Pride cometh before the fall

Ego will destroy us all

Superior in my mind

Exterior I’m divine

To be humble in approach

Means I’m fumbling the throne

I’m uncomfortable with growth

Robbing Earth of resources

The purpose ain’t important

A hundred foul reasons how

I want it, I need it now

This or that I’ll have them both

Leave none for the average joe

No questions just grab and go

Grab ahold, what’s yours is mine

Foreign objects sort of shine,

Different than my possessions

Reach in pockets for blessings

I hope they’re willing to share

There’s gun-smoke filling the air

Heaven, I’ll kill to get there

Eat my heart out and vomit

Full of it if I’m honest

No pill I couldn’t stomach

Another glutton punished

Face fat with guilty pleasures

Belly round, built of leather

Slow me down, wilted tether

Sleeping through the days a mess

Stuck in bed I’m chained to stress

Nightmares siphon energy

Groggy, foggy memory

Drag my feet into the sand

Feel I’m weakening the land

Tears my DNA to strands

Sex sells and the price is cheap

Eyes wide what a sight to see

Curves allure a certain stir

I prefer the burden’s flirt

Swallowed whole, I can’t escape

I indulge this twisted fate

Love was sold, I’m filled with hate

Filled with rage and resentment

Fill a page with my vengeance

Crush all those that would oppose

Ducks in rows, death is bestowed,

To the lost and cornered beast

Faced with demons more than treats

Lashing out, I’m scorned by peace
