Some men hunger with a sexual appetite Believing an illicit sexual power is a absolute must, When David spied on Bathsheba on the rooftop bathing Then, there was born lust. Some men hate other men successes With a feeling of discontent or covetousness with no glee, Joseph's brothers hated him because of his dreams and words Then, there was born envy. To some men God is just an immense appetite They would rather have food and not people as their company, They are always gorging themselves with wine and meat" There, was then born gluttony. Some men are imbedded with an anger With the resentful indignation's of a sociopath, Cain killed Able, the consequences of vengeance Then, there was first born wrath.
