The Disastrous Septet Concludes with Wrath and Sloth
So what’s left? We’ve visited the villages of Greed Hollow and Gluttony Gorge, had a picnic on Envy Green, toured the Palace of Pride, and looked around the Land O’ Lust. Our tour continues with a quick stop on the Isle of Wrath, followed by a very slow trek through the Slough of Sloth. Happy Trails!!!
Wrath
You did what? You dared
To cross me, you
Have provoked my
Foaming gall. I will not
Forgive you.
Ever.
You are on my deepest
List of those
Who have aroused
My ire, my
Red and boiling
Rage.
I will now devote my
Life, my essence, my
Being to making right
The wrong that you have dared
To do
To me.
My life is now a-fire with
Revenge, my righteous food
That gives my life
Its true and only meaning,
Dictates my every breath
And thought.
My drink is bile, my food
Is ash.
My sulfur breath
Is paradise.
Sloth
I will, I will, I’ll get to it.
I promise, it’s just
I can’t, right now, even move.
Just give me a minute
Or two,
Or tomorrow, that will be good,
Tomorrow’s best.
Can you reach me that glass? I mean,
I just can’t move.
Oh, thank you so much. Here,
Could you put it back for me?
So kind. I just can’t seem
To get started today.
Like I said, Tomorrow. I’ll be
In better shape, ready,
And I’ll get it done.
First thing, or second.
Takes me a while to get going
In the morning, know what I mean?
Greeting the day can take a while.
Getting my shoes ready
And then the bed, sometimes
Making the bed can be so much
Of a chore
That it’s sometimes
Easier
Just
To
Stay
In
Bed.
Know what I mean?
