Wages Of Sin Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Wages Of Sin

How much profit
have you made
on your greed

The bursar
of hell
wants to know

How has your
avarice
lived unrestrained

A glutton
those starving
in tow

How many times
have you dealt
from the bottom

Betting
the players
were blind

Sleeving that ace
that sends
you to hell

In debt
to the devil
—consigned
