Array ( [sid] => 186938 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Confessions [time] => 2020-04-20 18:29:09 [hometext] => By Rachel RW Radtke [bodytext] => My eyes have been opened now,
I’m done being blinded by ignorance.
Feel free to judge me for confessing,
But I don’t want to live in denial,
of the seven deadly sins.

It’s time to set aside,
Any leftover pride.
I’ve realized you are a filthy lie,
To your rules I will not abide.

Staying humble is much more rewarding,
Because it’s not all about me.
But insecurities and comparisons can lead to envy,
Does anyone else agree?

Self-control and modesty are a must,
To defeat that deadly sin lust.
A wicked distraction from love,
It’ll eat away at your heart like rust.

Another sin I’ve found to be a total bust,
Is that deadly sin wrath.
It leaves behind a bitter cold draft,
And destroys anything in its path.

Sloth is the deadly sin,
That has consumed me when I’m down.
It serves no good purpose,
At least that’s what I’ve found.

As I’ve been pulling up every weed,
I stumbled across some greed.
Generosity is much more uplifting,
It’s a far better deed.

I have struggled the least with gluttony,
Since I’m fairly picky about what I eat.
But that doesn’t make me any better,
I think we all have something,
that once made us weak. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 92 [topic] => 11 [informant] => RachelRWradtke [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

Very interesting and true.
I/'/m thinking the same way these days.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
