Oh envy!

You're singularly driven by your jealousy.

You rob the talented.

You deny them well deserved acclaim.

 

You slaughter rising stars,

with your sharpened words.

You drown their artistic endeavours,

in your bile filled pool.

 

When you awaken at dawn,

and read the account of,

your harsh criticism driven by envy,

will you proudly boast,

of your pyrrhic victory?

 

Unharmed by your envy,

the self assured,

victim of your assault,

will rise above your petty jealousy;

and, will continue to pursue excellence.
