Seven Successful Sins

Is success the trappings of wealth, and the absence of need
Or is the pursuit of money at any cost the sign of greed?

The richest country in the world has a problem with obesity
So the accumulation of riches is the consort of gluttony.

To make the most, by laboring the least, is a popular oath,
But isn't that just a fashionable tribute to sloth?

Is looking good to the opposite sex a modern day must,
And then do we condone the inevitable lust?

When we criticize others on a less fortunate path,
Do we succeed by venting our wrath?

When our heroes are those who don't lack a penny
Doesn't this show we have surrendered to envy?

When our auspicious leaders say god is on our side
Is it true or is it fallacious pride?

To succeed do we have to be sinners?

Or, are the also rans, the real winners?
