I Killed the Seven Sins.

now are you a sinner?

I crushed Havoc,
And killed Pain.
I took no mercy,
And put Pride to shame.
I slaughtered Sloth,
And tied up Rage.
I disconnected Envy,
And put Lust in a cage.
I set Greed on fire,
And ruined his desire.
I took Gluttony,
And put her in a room.
Leaving her nothing that she’d be able to consume.
I killed all the Sins,
I washed away the Lies.
Is your God still real?
Did he really rise?
You look at me now,
Like I’m the bad guy.
You look at me now,
Like your about to cry.
You Love your God too much,
But is he really Real?
Does he listen to you when you Cry?
Does he feel what you Feel?
No.
Look around,
The world is too fucked up,
People die on the ground.
If your God was real,
He wouldn’t have this.
He would want us all to live happy,
In wonderful Bliss.
He wouldn’t let the world be the way it is,
He’d fix things.
He’d made it all right,
He’d give us the answers,
And make everyone see Light.
If he Loves you so much,
Then Answer me this,
Why do we Live in a world,
Where your God seems so Remiss?

 

Author's Note

I don't believe in God, if you can't tell. And please, respect my beliefs and don't say anything about it.

This reads like a song to me. There is fluidity because of the rhyme.

[And put Lust in a cage.

Some good images there. My favourite was "lust in a cage". Keep writing, and thanks for sharing. V.
