Who Will Stop the Grifting?

Remember the seven
deadly sins?
Is a 15’ gold-leafed statue
not Pride?
Manipulating markets—Greed?
Little hands unwelcome 
touching: Lust
Inflating crowd size—Envy

Gluttony
Late night all-night rants—Wrath
Golfing while his war murders
innocents: Sloth

Let’s call back
       humility 
       charity
       chastity
       kindness
       temperance
       patience
       diligence
those Christian virtues
many Christians have abandoned
