Soliloquy of Sin
Greed
I come with power
Every day of the hour
Every thing is desired
Every thing is acquired
I am fire consuming your skin
In which you don't seem settled in
I taste salty, sound like a maniac gone mad
I smell putridly sweet, while blissfully sad
I encourage your friends to become everlasting enemies
I lock myself in with my riches, and throw away the keys
I make your hands tremble, even quake with excitement
Like a guilty criminal escaping indictment
I am Greed, nothing more, nothing less
I am the ultimate sin, made to reduce your soul to a mess
You say "there's no way" for such a creature to exist
"How?" you say, as your eyes mist
As long as you're in my grip, you're my guest
In the company of the worst and the best
And as badly as you don't want to stay
I softly whisper with a grin, "Because there's no way there's no way."
And like a cold-blooded, colossal snake
I eat you up, without a single ache
I am endlessly unsatisfied, not one to settle for less
Everything is mine, or would you be willing to put that to the test?
Some of you enjoyed my "Epic of the Elric Brothers," so I thought you might like this. What do you think? Should I do another? If so, who?
