Consciousness Correction

Envy is like a fire that burns 
That melts the soul and fills the urns 
Too much envy is perilous 
It rots the bone, too cancerous 

Too much envy from vague reason 
Halts the flow of gorgeous season 
Once the seeds of envy is sown 
It rouses hatred to be born 

When someone hates, he hates his own 
For, hate reflects like dust that's blown 
For reasons they can't understand 
Some even hate and take their stand 

Be not a hater, be better 
Only you can make your fate sweeter 
Sow seeds of love, not bitter hate 
For hate devours the chance of fate 

"A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones."

Proverbs 14:30 New King James Version (NKJV)
