Poetic-Verses
‘' You Have Total Control ‘'
Hatred and jealousy are one and the same,
The only difference is in the name,
Both are evil they can hurt and maim,
They can literally tear out your soul,
Being green with envy will result in hate,
Feelings you will find so hard to abate,
It's murder and mayhem they can both create,
On the downward slope you'll then roll.
These feelings can lie dormant within your mind,
When they manifest themselves they can make you blind,
When both these feelings become intertwined,
Nothing can ever console.
Physical or material it doesn't matter,
Jealousy and hate make you mad as a hatter,
Yours and others lives it will surely shatter,
You will pay a heavy toll.
One won't appear without the other,
They could be termed as sister and brother,
It's the dangers from them that you must smother,
Or you'll find yourself deep in a hole.
To some they can have a certain allure,
But prevention is always better than cure,
By ignoring them your sanity you can procure,
Your own destiny is for you to extol.
If you try to be happy with what you've got,
You'll diminish the risk of feeling fraught,
Never be controlled by what you have not,
Then through life's trials you will stroll.
What others are or have should never annoy,
Be it their person or their brand new toy,
Life is a gift, which is yours to enjoy,
In how we live it we all play a role.
If you find others making you over zealous,
Unwind your mind from this tangled trellis,
There's no logical reason to hate or be jealous,
Over your feelings,
