SIN-o-NYMS, 1a



Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins
SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath

Envy (a): covetousness

Oh, your covetousness you now wear like a coat—
And the whole world can see it—it’s nothing remote.

See, I know that you want everything that I own—
From my house to my car to my wife to my phone.

(I would not ever—ever—surrender my phone,
But it showed I was eager—yes, that was my tone!)

So, well, anyway, friend, what I own is now yours—
For all things evanesce, but a friendship endures!
