Envy

This is not a cool character, but a distorted frame of mind
It always bring dissention, and it always guilty of the crime
It often breeds hate, because of it greedy state
It destroys friendship because it is the same as jealousy
Do not make any mistake to cover this foe 
Hinder it and give it no space to participate
It can be very subtle or it can be ostentatious
So always be prepared to deny it when it comes to your door
This frame of mind is undesirable because of the malice
its relates
The deceitfulness, the spitefulness and the rivalry is no game
It is the epitome of a blinking shame
So when ever this character knocks on your door
Muscle it and hurl it into space 
so that it will not penetrate your brain 
and cause you to become insane
