Poems By Me.

Devastation

Wall of darkness crept right in,

Violent, like the Joker's grin,

The power surged, the sky turned grey,

The water spout about to spray,

Hellish nightmare soon to begin.

In seconds flat, town heard the din,

Brave firefighters rushed right in,

Destruction everywhere surveyed

Around our town.

The chaos witnessed, like a sin

Smashed bricks, shattered glass, twisted tin,

Tall, mighty trees on ground now lay

Memories of another day

Bleak devastation, mood is grim

Around our town.

Death by Sin

Seven Capital Vices from which to steer clear,

Humanity's tendency to sin did always appear.

Some forgivable, some mortal, which one the worst?

Avoid them all or you will be cursed.

Gluttony, you are a sin

With all the food you stuff right in:

You gulp it down in just one bite

Insatiable, your appetite.

Hubris, you deadly pride

God is no longer on your side.

Overinflated is your esteem,

A fall from Heaven is your destiny.

Greed, you lure me to excess,

Selfish desire, no want for less,

Money and wealth you will acquire,

Take care, beware His great ire.

Lust, the temptress of many man's mind,

Inordinate craving of the human kind,

Fulfillment forbidden, the drive for desire

Your fate, smothered not in kisses, but fire.

Envy, the desire for another man's life,

Your endless longing causing endless strife,

Satisfaction never to reach your heart

All your love will just fall apart.

Anger, the festering, burning rage

Of deeply-rooted wrath with a war to wage.

Hurry to don your red helm of combat

My soul under siege, under fierce attack.

Sloth, you steal your way into my bones

The sluggish stature all effort bemoans.

Languid are you in your search for ease,

Avoiding your work, the Lord now displeased.

Seven Capital Vices from which to steer clear,

Humanity's tendency to sin did always appear.

Some forgivable, some mortal, which one the worst?

Avoid them all or you will be cursed.
