![]() Seven deadly sinsA Poem by flutters
Bury my secrets in your blood
Take my pain and turn it into love Let it flow free and drink it in Relieve my head of the darkests sins The demon of PRIDE raises his head He whispers 'without me, your better off dead' Handing me a mirror, he says 'Look and see Beauty will be yours if you set me free' From the ashes, arises the green mist The voice in my head tells me everything I miss Shows me things others have that I lack Now the fiery green ENVY is back The GLUTTONOUS beast residing inside Brings edible pleasures from which I can't hide Images of tasty morsels take over my head Do I succumb, and let myself be misled? A LUSTY Goddess whispers in my ear 'Give yourself to me, have no doubts or fears surrender your body, eat the forbidden fruit New horizons of pleasure can be awakened in you.' Love is no option, just anger and hate The demon in his hand, he holds my fate Showing my one and only path I give up my soul to the demon of WRATH Material wealth overtakes my mind Nothing matters as long as status is mine The hold so tight I cannot be freed I'm overtaken by the demon of GREED SLOTH is my lover, my life and my friend Accompanying me as I lay in my bed Physical work makes me dizzy and weak It is restful slumber my body seeks Do I let my heart, body and soul give in? Surrender myself to the deadly sins? Become a child to the darkness, return to the ether A burden to the earth, a sinner forever © 2012 flutters |
