Gluttony

There is said to be a monster lurking in the shadows.
His guts a-gurglin’ with hunger for the human soul.
With a belly full’a people parts,
And a heart as black as coal.

Clad in rusted chain mail, the fearsome glutton waits
As the seams stitched down his stomach split,
And slither off like snakes.

From the mass of fat called Gluttony,
Springs the fate of those who sin
As the noose of his intestines
Traps the sinners deep within.
