This post contains a poem titled 'The Humble Sinner' that I penned depicting the seven sins that could trap one and the subsequent feelings of dismay and mortification could force him/her to turn to prayer.
Pride goes before a fall, indeed I have fallen,
I made money, money made me greedy,
When I saw my neighbor surpass my wealth, I became green
with envy,
In the prime of my youth, when diligent work was my duty, I
was consumed by sloth,
A thing of beauty drove me to lust, a plate of food made me
a glutton,
When my Mother showed me the error of my ways, I was filled
with anger,
O Lord, Pardon me, for I have sinned! Cleanse me and show me
the right way as I kneel down,
Before You, a humble sinner!
