Severing All Divine.

What are these words I'm displaying?
Is there meaning behind them,
Or are they just redundant ramblings of a mindless fool?
Sanity I held close,
Sanity kept me afraid.
I soon saw the error, the error of life.
Sanity is a state of the controlled mind.
KILL your MIND.
And so I did, thus,
Insanity was new bliss.
And what bliss it was.
Fear left, and I was happy.
Yet even happiness dies.
Without a mind, thoughts had no limit.
And the thoughts didn't stop.
And soon, I slowly stepped towards the false light.
The light was madness, and it was strange.
I was blinded and overwhelmed with darkness.
I could no longer see,
I could no longer control my thoughts,
And sins of seven replaced my dead mind.
Envy overpowered,
Wrath lead to violence,
Gluttony produced drugs,
Lust craved sex,
Greed demanded more,
Sloth wrought apathy, 
Pride gave false divinity,
And paranoia corrupted.
I was once divine with knowledge,
Now I am "Degenerate".
Crossing insanity to madness,
I am..... no hero. 

Author notes

How sad is it when some one falls from the top of divinity, knowing where he is in life, to a sickening state of confusion, where he doesn't know what to think for his own thoughts mislead him and etch a path that only leads to hurting the ones he truly loves.

    This was sad, but very nicely put and a very good idea for a poem. I particularly liked the part involving the seven deadly sins. Great job!
