Envy

ENVY

                    The deadliest sin
                    envy ruins self and others.
                                Cause of strife and crime.
                                     Jealousy slays peace and love.
                      Nasty enemy
                      playing drastic dangerous. 
                                                  Sinister instinct.
                                                   Oblivious ominous,
                                                   slowly poisons soul,
                                                   develops malignancy.
                                   Wound needs ruthless surgery.
