Jealousy
Shackled monster lurking in every heart,
With such ferocious guile, that's ever found,
Smiling in pain, deftly playing the part,
But yet, waiting for ego to unbound.
With eyes, so green, and spiteful as it goes,
Deceitful of mien, posing meek as dove,
Thriving in ranks of friends and foes,
And scheming worst, by burning hearts that love.
Docile, but yet, to rage wildest in some,
Envious of stars, that other fools have caught,
Feeding on wiles, and vain desires that come,
Making counseling, all coming to naught.
Oft quick to lash at enemies assumed,
But lo! It's very self it just consumed.
