Covert Jealousy

Haters are fans in disguise
And what takes up alot of there time
Is talkin about people
That are not there equal
& For that to be so
They'd have to learn how to climb
What really upsets me
Is not what they say
It's just the fact that
most of It is based  on envy
Your own progression
Leads them to question
There personal value
And all that does is depress them
I have a suggestion
Maybe stop all the hating
Do a 180
And start congradulating

John, you have described envy rather well, in the form of a poem. Haters was a term we never used "back in the day" but I see it pop up now and often. Thank you for explaining them as well. Advice makes so much sense, and it would make for much more happiness in their hearts too.
