The Seven Angels.

The Seven Angels

have appeared before me and

The Seven Angels 

have spoken to me. 

The first angel said : Lust for things, for things will complete you.

I said I want nothing.

The second angel said : Fill thyself with excess, for it will make you whole again.

I said I could never feel whole again.

The third angel said : Gain much wealth, for that will get you everything you need.

I said I did not need anything.

The fourth angel said : Punish your enemies, for revenge will make you feel strong.

I said I could not punish someone for doing what they believe is just.

The fifth angel said : Desire much, for it will make you wealthy.

I said I had no reason to want wealth.

The sixth angel said : Take great pride in what you have, for it will make you strong.

I said I could not feel proud, for I had nothing.

The seventh angel said : Do not do anything, for it will make you feel content.

I said I knew that it did not, 

but that I could not stop.
