Deadly Envy
The envious are
Not thinking completely they
Often throw reason away.
In the office they
Will create a way to take
Someone else’s job away.
Albert Einstein was
So envied by his colleagues
That he was denied funding.
Destructive Envy
Can be a murderous sin
Envy you can never trust.
Many envious
Men have murdered their spouses
And their spouses new lovers.
When envy consumes
Their every thought, they become
Overwrought and even kill.
