Inside the heart of Man
is what no kind of food can feed.
There, in Man's heart,
lies the always-hungry Greed.
What lies in Man's eyes
no person can conceal or hide.
Reigning is Arrogance's brother;
the one and only imfamous Pride.
In lies Man's touch
is a beastly sense that too many trust.
Lying within the touch of Man
is the truely seductive Lust.
Within the belly of Man
waits a thing that tastes instead of sees.
In Man's belly is Greed's twin,
the equally-staving Gluttony.
Waiting in the mouth of Man
is something you don't want in your path.
In Man's mouth, waiting to strike
is the always ever-vengeful Wrath.
In the eye of Man
is a thing you do not want to cross.
There in Man's sleepy, groggy eye
is the sleeper sin called Sloth.
And finally, in the mind of Man
waits a sin that is obvious to see.
Within Man's mind is Greed's sister,
the greatly feared emerald Envy

- If you take out the first three stanzas, this poem is GREAT! Nice rhyming and it sounds great. There are just some spelling mistakes. 5/5
