Surprising Seven Deadliest Sins In A Nuclear Age Poem by Terence George Craddock

which may be defined as Seven Dangers to Human Virtue

one weakness is Wealth without work
which leaves an immoral elite too much time
to promote profits paddling their disease
destructive weapons of war too much time
to profit promote death destruction rape of cultures
people resources in foreign lands too much time
without work to employ minions to bean counter plot
with underling minds trimming of all fat from sweat

shop wages in foreign third
world slight of hand
sell extortion phrase
developing countries
economies maximum yield
plunder profit raped...

another weakness is Pleasure without conscience
inflicting pain poverty upon people trapped
beneath a living wage trapped below starvation
poverty line exploiting every pound of flesh
every drop of blood from sweat shop workers
from victim destitute landless poor peasants
indebted labourers salary slaves legal slaves
owned debt worked into retirement early graves

body owned soul owned flesh owned workers
body worked into death starvation wage wasted
flesh sex workers bought sold with lust indifference
a drug any drug cocaine heroin meth sold only once
sex flesh drug is countless times sold until deceased
sex flesh worker third world innocent childhood stolen...

clean skin straight strong limbs slave bondage desecrated

a third weakness is Knowledge without character
designing ever more lethal weapons of war
including biological germ warfare plagues
chemical weapons such as poison mustard gas
Germany WW1 without conscience used mustard gas
Germany WW2 horrific horror genocide gas chambers...

these first three examined dangers to human virtue
deadly deceit intertwined with Business without ethics
profits in war proved to be Science without humanity
a mammon love of money was Religion without sacrifice
religion is supposed to love comfort feed shelter compassion
spread enlightenment serve the poor the desperate the homeless...

aid heal the sick not take exploit kill in the greedy pursuit of gain

how are these first six dangers to human virtue achieved?
once with power tyrants emperors kings ruthless rulers
in vote casting modern age corrupt Politics without principle
take a minute two three minutes fill in a few gaps yourselves
shed a little light on business bank corporation wealth manipulation
where does wasted tax money go in bribes wars shoddy construction?

this discourse strived
to prove a few consequences
the interactive integrated consequences
of Seven Dangers to Human Virtue
Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character, Business without ethics,
Science without humanity, Religion without sacrifice,
Politics without principle, an Unholy alliance;

the consequences of this unholy alliance
is written in dark history dripping blood;
