Oh, the stake of human Lust,
Piercing the ties of human trust.
Oh, the stake of human Gluttony,
Devouring all both bond and free.

Oh, the stake of human Greed,
Desiring all regardless of need.
Oh, the stake of human Sloth,
Making all with effort wroth.

Oh, the stake of human Wrath,
Bringing pain in it's aftermath.
Oh, the stake of human Envy,
Coveting all it's eyes can see.

Oh, the stake of human Pride,
Throwing helpful hands aside.
Oh, the countless souls that fall,
Whether to one stake or to all.

Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Satan, Mammon, Belphegor,
Lucifer, Leviathan, these seven form my poem's core.
Now know ye the stakes of these seven sins that pierce the hearts of men,
Remember them well, and should you forget, please read my words again.
Another poem with varying possible interpretations. The meaning grasped from it will vary wildly depending upon the knowledge or lack thereof of certain facts, but everyone should be able to find their own meaning in it regardless of that.

However, those who are aware of those very obvious facts I spoke of will be the only ones able to unravel my true inspiration for the poem. Giggle giggle giggle...

Ohohoho? Lady Bernkastel has an interest in those lowly paperweights? If I didnt know you better, I'd almost call that compassion! Well, they are an interesting group. Maybe the iron maidens and the siestas would have more of a fan club if they actually had personalities. Maybe thats why I liked your peice Erika..... she had so much fight in her... Though she really was an idiot. Not as stupid as that Battler though...
