Lines Based on Synonyms for the
Seven Deadly Sins
SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony,
greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath
Envy (d):
jealousy
It’s hard to
smother jealousy
When it moves through you endlessly—
At least,
this has been true for me.
What made me
jealous when a kid?
Oh, all
those kids for all they did
Much better
than I could. I slid
Into that
fabled goo of green—
That all of
you have prob’ly seen—
And so, at
times, I was so mean.
But time
went on—and I … matured—
Or so myself
I so assured.
But I can’t
say that I was cured!
For one day,
when this guy in class
Was … never
mind.
