Jealousy

I said as a young man
I don’t have a jealousy 
Bone in my body
I say as an old man
I wish I knew better
Saying that and
And believing that.
There is no such thing
For a woman to have
A male friend only
Her desires, and his
Are always there so
Be jealous and never
Let opportunity be
And follow the rule.
So, as a young man
Or an older man
Let him or her know
You are jealous, or
Don’t just let the opportunity
For them to be at hand.
Always keep tabs
Being Jealousy lets them 
Know you care
Even if you do care
And don’t show it
They will! go elsewhere.
