About Envy

For Print 2

 

I often wonder of the reason, for envy having no fixed season, t’is present the year round

it’s influence is widely ranging, never waning, never changing, such persistence does astound

 

Well known is the figment, of envy having certain pigment, viridescent belike

Yet envy is far from visible, ever drawn to divisible, ensnaring friend and foe alike

 

It'd be a glaring omission if envy is mistaken for ambition, for the two could not have more differed

Of success, envy is contemptuous, yet of its fruits t’is covetous, dismissing the sacrifices incurred

 

Dear Friend, do heed my warning, beware of those given to fawning, while barely holding their bile

For indeed there is something slithering, something churning, something withering, hidden beneath that smile
