7 Deadly Zins

Came across a beautiful poem the other day, that talks about the Seven Cardinal Sins (the sins are not mentioned in any particular order in the poem). This poem is written at the back of the Californian Wine bottle '7 Deadly Zins'.
As believers of the THE SECOND SIN, (read Gluttony), I thought it apt to share this extraordinary ode to the 7 Deadly Sins.

 7 DEADLY ZINS

I'm raging with ire, an ocean of fire,
My Wrath is the path to all I desire,
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.

I'm inflated with pride, near-bursting inside,
A self-centered repenter, Vanity's bride.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.

I'm mired in mud, inert as a slug,
Sloth is the cloth that's woven my rug.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.

I eat day and night, consuming all in my sight,
A Glutton with nothing but a huge appetite.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.

My will I ignore, my Envy's chore,
Over-zealous and jealous, I want so much more. 
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.

I'm ravenous to feast, an insatiable beast,
I concede to the Greed demanding release.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.

I hunger for trust, my craving's a muse,
My sin is the Zin enslaving my Lust.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
