The Middle Finger to The Seven Virtues

The Living Poetry prompt – Virtuous


Temperance rivals with yolo
Charity veils sinister corruption
Chastity cops technicality in the arse
Diligence finds no place in fast money
Humility runs a mile from self promotion
Patience means Amazon vs of Amazon Prime
Kindness shies away from publicised name and shame

    Hahaha! Such a beautifully-modern and simple version!

    I didn’t know there were ‘seven virtues’, too.

    This is apt because somebody told me yesterday what TikTok was, and recommended me to try it. Honestly, it was a horror show beyond even the state which I thought society had reached, perfectly demonstrating the opposites of all of these virtues! Especially the humility one! 🤢🤢🤢😆

    1. Thank God that I don’t have TikTok. I recently also remove most app notification so when I spend time with my love ones I don’t get distracted. Social media cannot take over my world so I miss out precious time.
