SIN-o-NYMS, 7p



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

Wrath (p): biliousness

Biliousness? You’re full of bile—
And swollen with your angry style.

The Middle Ages: Bile explained
Why you were acting so … unchained—

A vicious dog whose chain had burst
And now was acting, well, its worst.

The word remains—as does our rage.
(Sometimes, I think, we need a cage!)
