SIN-o-NYMS, 7h



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

Wrath (h): ire

Oh, even if the case is dire,
You should restrain your growing ire,
For ire will gain you nothing—nil—
And you will have some gaps to fill

Within your list of friends and such,
Who don’t admire your ire that much,
In fact, you may hear several say
They’d like to see you go away.

So keep that ire so well within
That no one knows you have that sin.
Concealing, though, is quite a load—
One day, perhaps, you might explode!
