Dont Envy, Dont Hate. Poem by Courtney Kane

Dont Envy, Dont Hate.

Rating: 2.9


.................Of this I know
as sky triumphs over rain,
the central theme in man,
of this I know
this feeling eats one alive,
leaves one without gut,
without eyes,
without name.

Indulge in it not
lest you are left half-eaten
in man's time, and God's eye.
Your poems are vapidity,
thin as steam
and without the substance
of the most fleeting thought;
your poems are nothingness,
as anger is nothingness.


Envy is poison.
What happens to
the color green
in other segments,
in other forms?
There is a repulsiveness,
there is a strange pain,
to kill, to kill,
to grow spite
like spite is its own
gnarled tree of life;
evil green eyes
come to no special place,
no awareness now.
If the earth gives in, soil and flesh,
evil green eyes have buried themselves, again.

Now in my final days, I am relieved to know that if God can tolerate and forgive our bad poetry....then I'm a cinch to get into heaven.

This is actually a very strong poem. A very good message that everyone can take to heart. I'd love to read poetry from you that was not on the topic of a certain poet here. You are a very good poet. Sincerely, Mary
