Thought I'd kicked this habit years ago
No idea where I found this;
When jealousy breeds
It's like a wild fire
out of control.
To this raging master
you become a slave,
Unable to realize
what is wrong and what is right.
Misguided bliss
becomes your tune
As you smile
at another's calamity.
To greedy thoughts
your mind succumbs
And your attitude
changes for the worst.
Take heed.
It is your life that will see its downfall.
For when jealousy runs in your veins
It is you
that misery will caress.
