First, there was Sloth,

and me, it's detainee.

"you're already at rest,

so stay at rest with me."

Then came Gluttony,

this large giggling beast.

"all workers need a break,

so come, join the feast."

Next was Envy,

as I saw the crowd.

"So many are already ahead,

unfair they are all proud."

And Pride did not take long,

after that call.

"Why aren't we the same?

We should already have it all."

But progress came slow,

as Wrath made an uproar.

for each bump,

destroying so much more.

Then the greatest evil came,

when all thoughts have been defeated.

You finally notice,

how much time has quietly fleeted.
