SIN-o-NYMS, 3k



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

Greed (k): materialism

So materialism now reigns in the West—
It seems owning vast numbers of things is the best.
There is no way to stop some wild passion like this—
It’s just more—and then more—and then down the abyss.

And we don’t realize until late in the day
That we should have adopted a much better way—
We should share and relieve and be humble, of course—
Or we’ll gallop along, and then fall from the horse.
