The Seven's Today

The Seven's Today

A Poem by Shane Patrick

 

Victories go the spoils to the spoiled
load your plate, before others...
go the gluttony, and the meat.
Seek fulfillment, not today.

Sleep those days away do nothing
do not open your eyes to the sound of the clock
go the sloth, and time for happiness
seek motivation, not today.

Make yourself binge and purge
for the look of those who do not matter
go the envy, and faceless few
seek comfort, not today

Steal the poor, they do not count
die in every country, everyday
go the greed, and the family
seek power, not today

The young you will rape
hurt forever, in the mind and the soul
go the lust, and the children
seek vengeance, not today

Kill the people you are closest to
burn them, rape them, murder
go the wrath, and tomorrow
seek justice, not today

Wage war for it fills your tank
they die for you everyday
go the pride and the men
seek meaning, not today.
