Envy

The times are hard
The pain is thick
The ones you trust
Their betrayal is quick

The smile and grin
Snakes in the grass
They’ll turn and bite
In the absence of cash

They’ll plot and scheme
Deceive and lie
The tell-tell is
How much they pry

Watch their eyes
Caution their applause
The Mr. Yes Men
Are diligent to their cause

To bring you down
Or tear you apart
Their sole motivation
Was envy from the start

Their green eyed judge
Colors the truth
That green eyed judge
Blames his failures on you

Run far and fast
And never look back
Stay smart and dedicated
Keep your feet on the track

And laugh at the kind
Who thought you a vic
As you stride to the finish
While in wallow they sit

Walk without doubt
And live without shame
As you generate progress
They’ll be speaking your name
