“Ink splatters
Expelled from the
Force of the Author’s Might.
Paper tears
Punctured from the
Pressure of the Author’s Mind.
Lead fractures
Cracked as it is
Compelled by the Author’s Hand.
She will not stop.
She cannot stop
Until the job is done.”
The Seven Virtues were created to combat each of the Seven Deadly Sins. These Seven Virtues first appeared tied together in an epic poem titled Pschomachia, written by Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, a Christian governor of the 400s AD. To battle Greed, there is Charity.
Charity can be seen as the act of giving. However, in a more Christian-centered defition, Charity is love and kindness toward others, even if they do not deserve it. Aquinas attributed Charity to the love of God. This charitable poem was inspired by the act that took place in John 6.
Happy Writing Everyone!
