Self control teachings

Gerald Bool

Lies and deception for those thinking with an erection . Poverty and need for those thinking with greed . Loneliness and despair for those that won’t share. Gluttony and self hate for those that gain weight. They hate and despise those that tell lies . Those with the vices pay outrageous prices . Those with self control are healthy and whole .

About this poem

There are inevitable consequences to a loss of self control and over indulgence .
