Ness

Emptiness breeds pettiness 
pettiness breeds bitterness 
bitterness will motivate 
a wickedness manipulates 

the self righteous rise 
with envious eyes 
igniting lies 
ruining lives 

with empty time 
and entitled minds 
they hunt to find 
and cause decline

emptiness filled with focus 
petty hope to see you hopeless 
bitterness now unnoticed 
they live a life no one noticed
