SIN-o-NYMS, 7r

Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins

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

Wrath (r): virulence

When virulence is running free

Throughout my heart and mind,

I try to think of other things—

To make myself more kind.

It doesn’t always happen, though—

And so I lose control—

Endangering, I well suppose,

My sad and troubled soul.

Close to the surface is my wrath—

I wish that it weren’t so.

I wish I were more mellow, calm—

Like resting sourdough.
