Eyes Of Jealousy Poem by THEODORE MOSLEY

Sheila secured her success through sacrifices of hunger and turmoil.

Her education was branded with disappointments of love and trust.

Carla went to the academy of streets that propelled her into darkness.

Sheila and Carla were classmates through high school; best friends beyond the measure of life.

Carla achieved greatness; her soul did not belong to her on this path.

Sheila drowned in hardship; her soul was clean though her tears that burned her heart.

Money and Carla were walking together in a fast pace environment that saw her ignite dreams with her unruly passions.

The streets belong to Carla her name engraved each corner she never walked.

Sheila and her baby withstood the whispers of the streets.

The blood stains carousels of lies ligated her strength to escape her domain of filth.

Sheila's glass slipper of two turned her world into a palace of sustained workmanship.

Queen Carla by reputation assaulted the streets with her asphyxiation of beauty.

Can two walk together unless they be agreed upon!

Carla emancipated Sheila with eyes of jealousy as the midnight hour sounded.
