Wages Of Sin

November 2, 2023

How much profit

have you made

on your greed

The bursar

of hell

wants to know

How has your

avarice

live unrestrained

A glutton

those starving

in tow

How many times

have you dealt

from the bottom

Betting

the players

were blind

Sleeving that ace

that sends

you to hell

In debt

to the devil

—consigned
