It's Not Fair

Rating: 5.0


I am the worm that never sleeps.
My given name is jealously.
I live within the twisted deeps
of human minds: Wait patiently.

I won’t attack you openly
for that would lead to my defeat
I nurture envy secretly.
I know how hard you must compete

For the success you hope to gain
and when it’s rudely snatched away
I will exacerbate your pain
and make you think a different way.

Why should they have what I cannot.
There is no reason I can see
Injustice makes your blood run hot
and you are wracked with jealousy

I am the worm who slumbers not
residing in the hearts of men
who are unhappy with their lot.
The wakeful worm has won again.
