Envy
She is a popular decadent aura.
Accusatory and crafty beginning with the Torah.
Debauched by nature
consumer of the spiritually immature.
Guided by licentious ways
she tries to plant her foot on the narrow path officially paved
for those who's steps are heavier than their burdens low
sparks of her anger smoothly flow
inquisitive to the point of doubt
concerned with wells of constant drought
she grows with pride
skins of scales for hide
not to seek
for she pretends to be meek
on the other side of the valley she peeks
screams cannot out weigh her cries when conquest
finally overcomes distress
vigilant and reticent customs provide gain over souls equal to spirits
oh please hear it
the Truth speaks
and detest those that reap
her harvest for it drives coerced children into adulthood
if you have not encountered her you will wish you would
only to make sure she is cast out to emit
and transmit
left out to omit
the fear of God must be present
and stay
for that gift last always
make sure that her emerald rays
do not guide your days
you must wish for obscurity
not enmity
that already exist from her slithering tongue more than a thief, or
a destroyer of man, a terminator of spirits lost through her lies
from ties a lover of cries
from kingdom gains
that remain
a missed target
still no regrets
she finds comfort by missing out on blessings
so she shuts the windows progressing
to the door
back down to the floor
she goes
and grows
to know
more of her followers that actually take out time to find her
just as Wisdom demands to be sought out
she too stands, on the streets to be bought out
with a price far less than fools gold
her value will never unfold
or produce,
but reproduce
non-efficient works and deception
from a mere conception
of haughtiness, a demoness
who is not loved
but covered with a glove
of rhinestones
and silent tones
yes she whispers louder than a lion's roar,
but choose to ignore
and begin to explore
a voice with the flow of many waters,
a King of many fathers
that do not become intimate with her and slowly walk past
not to become as grass
she cannot last
if you will simply let her pass
