ENVY

ENVY


Envy,
Who are you?
Although your nature
I ignore,
Many times on my way, you
I have found,
Tell me truly, if you please,
Just this only
Time,
Are you an evil?
Are you a crime?
Or
Are you an 
EVIL CRIME?

    A good question, Demetrios...envy left unattended always leads to some crime. This is an insightful write. Annalise

    Envy is soul-decay and decay is loss - a form undesired just as a dross... You never fathom why it exists in us - since it turns a human into a cuss! Your words open up many folds of a really puzzling issue!

    Great questions to ponder! The only time envy is beneficial is when it is tempered with a desire to emulate born out of appreciation for what is! Of course...the Word is clear...Thou shalt not envy! Lovely write...filakia!

    Very good poem.. something to ponder.. I thing envy comes naturally to people and something that we have to be aware of and keep under control or it could end up becoming an evil crime :) At the least, it robs us of being content....

    It's the root of all evils so they say! A very compelling essay on the human condition! Have a great day my friend!

    These are good questions. I think envy is evil. It is not good. People that envy what other people have can never be happy. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla
