Sinning to the Loss

To break the oath of truth
You might think that it's okay
Sinning to gain what you seek
While still pushing someone else away.

You will covet something from the greed
And the gluttony and theft as well.
But in the end you can never win
As to answer at the gates of hell.

Even envy will leave you with nothing.
Resentment you'll trap in a jar.
And neither will gain you the points
Except rust that will tarnish your heart.
