Envy

Envy by Adejola Joseph 
Envy 
Sores of a leper 
Injury of a bigot
Pollution of a fanatic 
Sadness of a sadist
Sorrows of a misogynist 
Conspiracy of a traitor 
Envy 
Envy is murderous 
An envious person can destroy or damage anything good 
Envy 
Envy is a sword in the heart
Piercing the body and the soul
Envy 
Never be envious no matter what 
Because envy will push you to the desert where there is no water 
Envy.
