JEALOUSY

As the light travels through the diamond,

Jealousy penetrates deep into a man’s heart.

As the light splits itself by such a journey

Jealousy turns itself as a multi edged sharp sword.

Though the darkness never defeats light

Good is torn, split and wasted by jealousy.

Jealousy lies deep within one’s heart

Waiting for the right moment to sprout like weeds

Weeds grows faster than plants

Like jealousy grows faster than generosity

‘J’ is monopoly of no one.

‘J’ is a friend of rich and poor

Day and night the best and worst

Sun and moon, intelligent and unintelligent

‘J’ is not an alien

‘J’ sprouts everywhere

Among best friends

Among best companions

Among best groups

‘J’ consumes many but not all

‘J’ eats up little by little.

‘J’ resembles the spark

That burns an entire forest.

‘J’ resembles salt

That permeates entire food

‘J’ is given a face by all.

Yet not all under its clutches

Yet it permeates everyone

Some are conquered by it,

Others conquer it.

It leaves no choice for you.

Conquer it or be conquered

Choose thy self the better part.
