Jealousy, jealousy <br />You ought to keep it low key <br /> <br />Everything I want <br />You seek and you hunt <br />Even though you’ve a lot more to flaunt <br /> <br />All the things I acquire <br />You always appear to require <br />Who needs an umpire with your type of envious desire? <br /> <br />Jealousy, jealousy <br />You ought to keep it low key <br /> <br />You classify yourself in the same category as me <br />Your burden is heavy with continuous envy <br />Give me a piece of you and your government <br />I will show you what I can do as a secondment <br /> <br />I am a river of love <br />That bends perfectly around curves <br />Everything I touch turns to gold <br />While your touch turns all things vigorously old <br /> <br />You want to smoke weed like me <br />But what an invalid you will be <br /> <br />You want to scale heights as I have done <br />But you fail to see the light till I am long gone <br /> <br />I am a natural top <br />You are born a natural flop <br />No matter how hard you try <br />The end ends with a bitter cry <br /> <br />Jealousy, jealousy <br />You ought to keep it low key <br /> <br />With my feet rooted to the ground <br />I state this quite sane and sound <br />Wear off that notorious frown <br />For your head will never fit my crown <br /> <br />No two people are equivalent <br />With what you have, you should be content <br />You may be consistently diligent <br />Only I am far more persistently intelligent <br /> <br />With me you always want to compete <br />But I look at you like contaminated meat <br />That I will not even consider as food to eat <br />Forget ever occupying my seat, admit defeat <br /> <br />Jealousy, jealousy <br />You ought to keep it low key <br />We will never be in the same category <br />Why? Why? Why? After all you do try! <br />Will always remain a mystery <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jealousy-jealousy/
