SIN-o-NYMS, 5l



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

Pride (l): smugness

Yes, smugness is a dreary trait—
It bothers you—it bothers me.
It’s something that we all must hate.

You never look too far to see
This quality in evidence:
You see it so pervasively.

It really doesn’t make much sense—
This self-regard, this arrogance
And has a frightening soul-expense.
