Sins of the World

A dark dangerous world we live in
Shadows haunting our footsteps
Lingering in our thoughts
Envy swarming over our heads
Groping all that succumb to its will
Sloth clawing at the human spirit
Shredding its purity
Lust chasing after us like rabid beasts
Devouring our flesh
Greed filling our minds with selfish desire
Poisoning our ethics
Pride twisted our self-perception
Making us seem peerless
Gluttony embellishing our bodies
With man's devices
Wrath, a partisan to evil
Turning dying love into pure hatred, blinding our hearts
Sin poisons our souls and keeps us from God
Light the candle of compassion and forgiveness
Let some light into this world
