Envy's Seed
We came at birth, all equal in God’s eye
Yet, winds blew aloft, Envy’s cursed seed.
Hatred warms the bed where Evil will lie.
The fertile soil beguiles, rooting on the sly.
Black veils of mistrust tinting each good deed!
We came at birth, all equal in God’s eye.
Despair rides the rails without alibi
Gaining companions, divided by greed.
Hatred warms the bed where Evil will lie.
Privilege and fame, an Icarus sky
Blinds our soul, it blocks the truth before us;
We came at birth, all equal in God’s eye.
Life’s reward still illusive, cry or try.
Bind us to our conscience with chains we plead.
Hatred warms the bed where Evil will lie.
If submit we will, our death awaits neigh.
We will to Envy’s sour fruit concede.
We came at birth, all equal in God’s eye.
Hatred warms the bed where Evil will lie.
