Wrath

Let's talk about Wrath one of the seven deadly sins its magnitude contends where the other six soon begins it can start with Pride by hiding ones true feelings and implode then lashing out at someone close because it was swallowed Lust comes in when indignant thoughts lead to hurtful words the victim looks for kindness and sweet talk comes in herds it is often found with Envy whether it is love or financial gain people covet what others have and will inflict the worst of pain Gluttony is sanctioned it happens to some in time I can eat that other piece of pie for I am in my prime let's not forget Vanity for that is known worldwide people suing surgeons for mistakes they cannot hide Lastly there's Greed comes to play with its only friend armed robbery to petty theft with heart's left to mend this list hardly covers what this word of rage entails for Wrath is my worst enemy it festers and it swells
