Satisfaction fills my being,
Self esteem that leaves some fleeing,
The best of the best, the supreme being,
Respect for oneself that is so guaranteeing.
Dignity that can be seen from afar,
An ego the size of a star.
+++
Resentment for most,
Desire in a lethal dose,
Want is held close.
Green is the diagnosis,
Begrudgement is the prognosis,
Jealousy is the hypnosis.
+++
Indulgence of food and drink,
Cravings come within a blink,
Greed is the missing link.
A strong Inclination to consume,
A penchant that could bring doom,
A yearning that can burn like a fume.
+++
Physical desire like a live wire,
The need stretches higher like a wildfire,
Crave is the supplier and will open fire.
Fervor takes hold and is uncontrolled,
Greed unrolls eightfold,
A thirst so bold that will break the stronghold.
+++
Antagonism thats pernicious,
Rage that is malicious,
Indignation that is vicious.
Hatred that is lifelong,
Acrimony thats headstrong,
Violence that doesn't know right from wrong.
+++
Longing for more that you don't ignore,
Selfishness in the core that causes an uproar,
Avarice that starts a civil war.
A craving for more that burns like a sycamore,
Rapacity that will be evermore,
Desire that will leave some done for, for the encore.
+++
Lethargy will remain,
Inactivity in the brain,
Slackness that will make some insane.
Idleness that's easy to obtain,
Laziness that weighs you down like the mark of Cain,
Indolence that's addictive like cocaine.
