Battle of the Gods

In Monolithic monuments are the bringers of the derelict dawn I see many idolatrous idols, forged in ancient bibliothecal Babylon Within worshipful winds, that carry words of parasitical praise And indulging in illusions that comfort their camouflaging craze I am the god of Lust beware my tempestuous heinous hunger My appetite for decadent desire keeps me forever younger I am the god of Gluttony beware my excessive consumption The more I ferociously feed, the more for my euphoric eruption I am the god of Greed beware my matriarchal material possessions I want what I want and not what I need, to satisfy my aggressions I am the god of Sloth beware my lazy inhabitations and failure to act In my dormant dwellings, savoring sanctuaries where I safely retract I am the god of Pride beware my self-indulging pompous portray I talk to merciful mirrors that reflect reinforcing rumors my way I am the god of Envy beware my desire to obtain what you possess I want to experience everything, the secret to my seductive success I am the god of Wrath beware my feelings of anger and habitual hates Waging worthless wars as I open up the homogeneous hellion gates The gods have spoken, their words eternal spread throughout eternity In the efficacious end, Love will conquer all, so I say to you... ‘Let It Be’ Aug.02.2017 Let It Be Sponsored by: Catie Lindsey

WW, this is a monumental beauty! Every line has grand, memorable, strung together with power and finesse phrases. Just thrilling to read. Amazing craftsmanship! I'll use a phrase that you used recently; I think I spell a winner here.., and it's definitely not burnt coffee lol! :)
