There is a lot of emotion in this piece. So sad that things happen the way they do. Envy, lust, greed and gluttony. All sins. When there are so many more things to be doing. Great message in your poem

As I bid you fare thee well
Say a prayer for me
That we all may escape the hell
Of fighting to be free

I really like the ending it wrapped things up nicely.
Great job!
Take care Cindy
