ENVIOUS TIRADE 

 I

In dubious mind, grows in disquiet, voluminous greed

Malice contests, creative performance of the wise

Craft obstacles sinister to ruin every industrious deed


Self tormenting, tortures become this ritual of despise

Rapacious mind still rejoices this agonizing growth

Converging sinister plots rule the will to covertly devise

Hideous discontent grows into a disparaging sloth 

Contempt and frustration give anxious moments

Exasperated evil mouth pours out enraging froth


Remain unfazed and emboldened by disgruntled comment

Obsessed by greed, rotten mind fails to bend

Cunningly disguise a grace to live burdened by the sacrament

Materialistic yearning maligns even the most benign

Ruined are those who to this belief desperately align

 II

Opportunities lost forever, miseries consume all delights

Misconceptions bared, distress gnaws into sanity

How fraudulent survive, famished for days and nights

Futility fills absurdity, insults manifest with worsening vanity

Deride logic with contempt, make rules to flout

Mistrust enlarged, stinging moral depravity secures profanity

Infected by debilitating thoughts, insensibly enjoy its clout

Caught in the company of a conflicting paranoid

Like a dejected despot, crave for power in despair, in doubt

Desires aggregate, fulfilled, some unfulfilled create a void

Despicable tasks share the envious tirade

Trapped in needless clumsy duels none claimed to avoid

Materialistic craving brings at the end, nothing but disgrace

Outrun by greed, those who participate in this mindless race

III 

Rages over exuberance, depression rooted to the last

Irritated progeny face threat to their providence

Led by sins already, wish their life in virtues to be cast

Arguments, disputes consume all life in conference

Insecure feels each soul fed by ugly resentment

Reckless conclusions devoured by insolent difference

Apprehensive of tragedies, must lives thrive to reinvent

Convert into victory, defeats harbored by conceit

Lest pride impact human skills to make it incompetent

Opulence of others follows you with a sorrowful treat

As you mourn the luxuries of the fortunate few

Lose your ingenious restraint to grow more indiscreet

Dream to own everything that excites to charm

Enthrall the mind to a state that result in harm

IV

Compulsive psychosis built around jealousy on leisure

Liveliness and enthusiasm are robbed from life 

So madly addicted to a soul scalding emotional seizure

Distraught, hope tutors realize when agonies are rife

Mounting frustration, let not the mind to decide

Pervades avarice to every ounce of blood to give strife

When there were enough things earned of own to abide

Unwisely abandoned real joys to indulge in fake

Stuck in the mire of greed, none there to help, to guide

Made a fool of yourself when so much in life was at stake

Responsibilities hung on the shoulders so many

Midst of liabilities afforded to make a disastrous mistake

Some crave for more while some rejoice in what is less

Carry faith in your prayers, leave the rest on God to bless
