God was to Blame
All they wanted was
The love and laughter and joy
A child yes, what fun?
Where could they snatch one of those?
“After all where were you God?”

The Seven Deadly Tankas… Sloth
Bathed in Glory
His kingdom was vast
Control was expectation
Servitude his making
Every soul given freely
He just bathed in his glory

The Seven Deadly Tankas… Pride
“It’s Alive!”
He brought it to life
Overwhelming achievement
It stood painfully
No sense of life, sense of worth
He just laughed, screamed; “It’s alive!”

The Seven Deadly Tankas… Lust
Sweet Sex; Sweeter Blood
One glance was enough
Desire stretched to breaking
He snatched her away
Sex so sweet, her blood sweeter
Body left for the screaming

The Seven Deadly Tankas… Greed
Blood on his Hands
He watched them closely
The lavish lifestyle
But he did not care
A little blood on his hands
He was basking in the bucks
