Envy's impetuous green eyes
Can rupture the warmest of hearts
Exhausting the spirit, and frigid
Loves sweet embrace quickly departs
Jealousy's morbid suspicions
Penetrate spirit and core
Breeding contempt and corruption
Knocking impoverishment's door
Demanding, commanding, possession
Planting abandonment's seed
Compelling attention, submission
Pretentiously seeking esteem
Envy, the face of Medusa
Turning who see her to stone
Repulsive, decaying and rancid
Blood salted so weakens the bone
No matter the ripe provocation
My meager belongings will do
Thou shalt not covet, nor lust for
Another man's meatier stew
