RED

Lustful beings with single tracked thoughts,
straddle death like a rocking chair.
Pick your people like a game of darts,
don't quite care what's right or fair.

Teenaged hookers and yon black crack whore,
predator of the night on the hunt.
Twisted thoughts tinted with lusting red,
searching out for a new cunt.

ORANGE

Angry again,
cannot tell from foe or friend.
Suffering,
pain in my head, my temper bends.

With a kiss,
my knuckles rap on your skull.
With my fists,
your bright eyes now turn dull.

Waking up,
ignore the black and blue on your face.
Heating up,
wrath will put you back in your place.

YELLOW

Can you here the chink, chink, chink
of the scales being tipped by gold?

Can you hear the chuckle, chuckle, chuckle
of the devil buying your soul?

Can you here the ching, ching, ching
of the wants that you so need?

Can you hear the boom, boom, boom,
of you selling yourself to greed?

GREEN

Look at your neighbor,
greener pastures on his side of the fence.
He doesn't deserve it,
what he gets is better, but he's so dense.
Since he's gotten more money,
things in your life haven't been right since.
You're just green with envy,
looking at him with longing instead of penance.

BLUE

How long has it been,
since you got yourself off your ass?
You're such a slacker,
you got no job, you whine and harass.

Would you stop it,
just give yourself something to do.
Stop laying around,
go give yourself something to prove.

PURPLE

The mirror relects all that you want to see,
berry juices line your eyes, blush not for free.
Lips red like the blood that flows in your veins,
staying so slim must cost you so much ache and pains.

Dress your best, it's another night on the town
dress to impress, it's time to make another round.
Show your looks, pride yourself on being vain,
strut your stuff, you have so much to gain.

VIOLET

Take it all in,
there is no end.
Take another hit,
just another addict.
Swell in pleaure,
yor earthly treasure.
Waste away inside,
but you've nothing to hide.
Glut and take the seed,
of the junkie's need.

Author's Note: This cute little account comes from Dante's Purgatory. I compared them to the 7 colors of the rainbow.
