FATEFUL ENVY
Why do we look at what others enjoy,
when we can develop skills and abilities to deploy,
why do we envy another mans success,
when we too can continually progress.
How do we even know the next mans possessions,
unless covetousness is feeding our obsessions,
idleness always breeds much contempt,
as jealousy eats us away and won't relent.
When we look and see what WE possess,
gratitude will take away all our stress,
when we look and see what WE need to do,
we will find prosperous paths which to pursue.
We all have hidden talents within,
when fully developed its fruits it will bring,
blessed with healthy bodies and capabilities,
we can surround ourselves with joys and tranquility.
