The Box

Here it was

An open Pandora box

Something crept out

Perhaps the green monster

It came first on earth

To the son of Adam

Cane was he called

It ended killing Abel

Years passed

Generation did.

The monster waited

For new prey every day

It had been on the lands

Of authority in Germany

With Hitler, he swayed

And ended him as well

It came to the lands

Where desire lay

A greed to excel

Was what gave its way

In Syria, In Yemen

Where people had died

In Afghanistan

Where Childhood had died

Till the day that world lives

It will wander among the lands

To look for people with greed

And to chant its magic

Afterall its Envy!
