forgotten sins


how is it one sin among seven has taken the lead
and feeds our vision so
is not the reverend jerry just as damned
in the eyes of the lord
corpuscular preacher that he is
as the man who lusts as he may in his mind
was it said somewhere that hell hath special places
for those desiring pretty faces
perhaps more than they should
far below those who dream instead of muffins
and crispy cremes
has avarice been dropped from the list as well
that true believers can now meld their politics
with mammon and exxon
and not see that long list of sinners
who would poison every mother's son
for a bulging wallet today
no, of the seven deadlies only one is in vogue
as a true sin the sin of the flesh
send men to their death on a pack of lies
no problem my friends as long as pleasure is denied
or at least decried for behind those that pontificate
on the sexual mores of our times
lie the very ones most likely to defrock and frolic
with boys and girls and other men's wives
such is the root of their tortured lives
how dare any priest say anything about anything
to do with sex and lust
they were busted with orphans
and they want to chastise on abortions?
many fat lazy rude priests and preachers have i met
but they have dropped 6 of the sins
only one they see
sin is personal
it is how we self-destruct if we choose
die from donuts or die from loneliness
