Jealousy is such a self-defeating emotion, <br />Like trying to swim the ocean, <br />Or change the course of a clock's motion. <br />All it does is infest its hosts, <br />Who feel inferior to all or most, <br />Until they find those they can control <br />And thus steal a superior role. <br />Thoughts and actions they then own <br />While dominating another lonely drown. <br />Unfortunately the jealous never see <br />The rest of the world who always flee <br />Their self deprecating chagrin blaming <br />Others for the maudlin state they're in.<br /><br />Gregory Huyette<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jealousy-105/
