SEVEN SHADES OF SIN

written by: Aishwariya Laxmi

@aishwariya

Blue is for the lust you stoke up
every time you come near me
Orange is for the gluttony I feel
each time I think of you
Greed is what I feel when
everything turns yellow like the sun
It’s sloth I experience when
I’m lazing around and having fun.
And the sky goes a pale shade of blue
Just a lighter hue
My wrath is like none other
And knows no bounds
It’s red, like your marital bed
I’ve learned to contain my envy, though
Which could get green
Must also rein in my pride
Which is the royal shade of purple!
