Jealousy Upon's One's Soul

Jealousy upon One's Soul

Jealousy comes in many types of forms and dark faces
It has many aspects and traces of different colors,

All the evil seeds can be so contrite, evil and leave some traces
How some people can be so volatile and protrude others,

 In today's society there's always someone who can be naughty
Can’t they think or know their own choice of words can be not catchy?

I do know way too many people have immoral values
Surely being and causing harm unto others does leave some clues,

Then they'll be their own worst feared cantankerous enemies
Would you say they might not be accepted into heaven’s gate?

With hardened hearts those who choose hatred lust and thievery's 
Walking in life, they're filled with jealousy and know they can't wait,

A jealous mind and heart is resentful to an honest soul
Don’t they know how to enter set their own limits for in their set of a goal?

Don’t let the green monster enter your head and take a hold of you
A jealous seed won’t get you ahead in life that’s very true.

Jealousy is something that happens to us when we are not feeling very good about ourselves. It is a warning sign that can be acted upon--but that action means talking to a social worker, psychologist or psychologist if it doesn't go away when we are feeling better. It is the strangest thing when it descends upon us. Plus, we can't always have what we want--that is a difficult lesson and experience that is part of how our brain is wired. What a mess!!!!!

I so totally agree with you in all aspects you've said. I always thought that I don't and never had much jealousy in my whole body or even pinkie. But living with a callous man who always entertains his greedy delusional mind can wreck havoc on a true beloved gal like me. Thanks for your powerful words of wisdom...

Jealousy is as old as Abel & Cain! I fear that it is here to stay! A monster that erodes the heart and soul while leading to self-inflicted pain. A very expressive wrire, Theresa. // paul

Thank you very much Paul and leaving a comment on this penned poem of mine, yes I so totally agree with you that jealousy is as old as Cain and Abel. But there are a great many people that are really jealous minded. As for myself, not a jealous bone in my body, heart or soul. Even my man says you never get jealous, all I say is do I have to? Thanks for stopping by and leaving a great comment...// Tess
