SIN-o-NYMS, 5i



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

Pride (i): self-glory

He soaked himself, from head to toe—
Self-glory was the liquid, Yo.

He thought its glitter would result
In admiration—we’d exult

And shower him with endless praise
Throughout his endless string of days.

But …

Self-glory is like gasoline:
When it ignites, you leave the scene—

A piece of charcoal, so well used.
You stand there, singed, and so confused.
