Jealousy

Admit it!
Look in the mirror
    and see the 
face of 
Jealousy
Despite the
    fact that you 
have achieved some things
others will know
      that you seek 
a not - so - subtle revenge
    deep in your heart
But wait until the
      weekend 
  when you can let
your hair hang down
    lose yourself in
the sounds so skillfully 
   produced by urban musicians
   Yes, as Blake said 
jealousy has a "human face"
But so does peace
and yes - foregivness
