Seven demons out at sea,
the ones I casted out of me.
The tide washes them away
and I pray that they find decay.

Lust was swallowed by the sea-
a failed act of *******.
Greed fell pray to crystal blue
hoping the ocean would make do.

Gluttony, and empty man,
tried his hand at Leviathan.
Envy felt its resentment
and dissolved for mere contentment.

Sloth sluggishly found his rest
in the ocean's sufficient breast.
Wrath destroyed his dreadful cage
and his happiness spilled his rage.

Pride found me in deep pleasure:
My satisfaction - his leisure.
He drove me to the great wave
where six deadly sins were enslaved.
