Analysis of The Storm



The Storm within
Feeds on many a thing
A preference for sin
Pick one or the other
Not good?
Try another
A platter of seven
A feast fallen from
The Tree of Heaven

Years fueled by hate
It grows and grows
Never known to hesitate
Tears at the Soul
The anger relentless
The body breached
The Storm unleashed
The Soul does retreat
Let the vices meet
Rage burn complete
And purify
