SIN-o-NYMS, 6l



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

Sloth (l): supineness

Supineness does, I fear, suggest
That you’re not being at your best.

Oh, sure, it works when you’re in bed
And wish to sleep, to clear your head.

But while at work, it’s not a plan
Endearing you to those who can—

And will—work hard to earn their checks.
Your actions will have dire effects—

Like losing all your self-respect—
And seeing all your prospects wrecked.
