SIN-o-NYMS: The Beginning

A new series based on synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath


Before We Begin

So before we begin our verse journey to Sin,
I should say a few words in defense
Of myselfI’m not bad but just curious, see,
And I hope that this makes perfect sense.

We will journey through sins—yes, the deadliest ones--
All the ones that can ruin your nights—
And each day I will write some ridiculous lines
About wrongs and (of course) about rights.

And I hope that you find this amusing—not strange—
And I hope that you’ll journey with me
Through the bad things we seem so determined to do—
Oh, the failures of humanity!
