SIN-o-NYMS, 7g

Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins

SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath

Wrath (g): irateness

Irateness is a quality

That some folks have, I know.

In some it comes so quickly—but

In others, it is slow.

Regardless, when their rage erupts,

Then violence is near.

The irate ones can lose their grip—

And this is what we fear.

For then we know abuse will come—

And injuries as well.

And even death can follow, so

We cry out,  “Bloody hell!”

Sure, anger has its sources, and

So others share the blame,

But when those blows are hitting us,

We’re clear from whence they came.
