The Seven Deadly Sins by ~Broadcraig:iconBroadcraig:



Lust;

She fills the room
Like a flower inbloom,
The scent of a temptress
The eyes of the devil,
My ears fill and fall apart by the sound of her siren song
I follow the lucid notes until I reach the point of excessive love
My lust, I've found your way.



Gluttony/Greed;

Swallow me down And I will become you; Queen,
Cover yourself in riches and don't chew before you swallow
You can afford to steal from the world but you can't afford the sky
Gluttony eats away at your eyes.


Sloth;

Covered in meloncholy
We lie; wasteful in the clouds of sin
Full of ideas but no, No action to bury the boredom
Covered in this happy sad face, brushstrokes,
We cover half the canvas and consider this portrait done
I wish the sloth would be devoured by the sun.

Wrath/Envy/Pride;

Look in the mirror
There's a fire in your reflection
God, There's an apple in the kitchen and it's been stolen
There's a flower in the field
And it knows of it's beauty
There's pollen in the air and we're all so angry,
Angry that we couldn't be so pretty,
As pretty as the self loving nature,
We all move full circle and love what we envied
Love what we hated
Love our reflection
Self deprecation
Pride in our sins.

Author's Comments

Ever since watching Seven the other day I wanted to do a poem dedicated to each of the 7 sins. In actually sitting down and researching each of the sins in detail, it actually occured to me firstly how pathetic most of these sins are and how they actually derail alot of stories in the bible and secondly, how every single one of these sins criss crosses into every one of the others because at the end of the day, sins are personality traits and obviously, we can have thousands of personality traits.

So I think with this piece, I lumped them all together to an extent to just show that they are an entity, there are seven sins but there are only four short pieces here and that has been done for a reason. I've added alot of religious references to Paradise Lost, obviously to some reasearched elements of the seven deadly sins, to some greek myths and sprinkled alot of my own beliefs and feelings ontop. Maybe it worked, chances are, it hasn't at all...if it hasn't..sorry!

:iconplayacardzright:
i have no critical reaction i love your use of language in this piece and my favorite part is "lust" not because i am lustful, but for its pure emotion.. im feeling that Mr Broad you appear to be the sensitive type, hush me if you must for i will be humble :flirty:

i don't think it's personality traits. i believe it's the sinful human nature which then corrupts our personality which was perfectly good to start with.

:) clever you.

So your saying that human personality was good to start with? I disagree...aslong as there is fire in our hearts and goals we want to achieve which there will of been with every human being that ever existed, there will be certain negative traits they use either to reach the goals or in some form of awe of the goals.
