Deadly Punishments

They broke their pride upon a wheel As envy froze in ice Fire and brimstone smothered lust Gluttons swallowed toads and mice- Anger was dismemberedv alive Greed in boiling oil drips A pit of snakes,sloth..now..so..slowly...slips.

Very good piece. Honestly, I had to read it a few times because it felt like reading Revelations. It shook me because I must admit I have been prideful, a glutton, angry and greedy. I had to pray for forgiveness after reading this. Thanks for scaring...I mean sharing. :-) ~Des Juan
