Jealousy! Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

By Stanley Collymore

Why is jealousy so vituperatively
and often openly condemned
and not all that unnaturally
by those same people who clearly are
not themselves above employing this
same sentiment, when it's irrefutably
directly suitable for them? Naturally,
automatically, quite unquestionably,
avidly essentially envying someone
else or even several other persons,
solely because you so distinctively
feel or quite innately actually think
for whatever evidently, steadfastly
clung to reasons which you either
rightly or wrongly undoubtedly do
perceive to be the lone case with
yourself, that there're undeniably
multiple distinctly more evidently
rather fortunately gifted or better
off individuals, who're effectively
personally endowed with talents
that you conceivably don't have,
and literally your vile prejudices
don't logically, make any sense.

And quite realistically wouldn't
it honestly be a much more
creditable situation, not
just for yourself but similarly also
for everyone that rather than you
wasting so much of your energy
distinctively, wilfully, needlessly
so committed to such negative
emotions on your part, actually
being rather bitterly envious of
other persons, and ludicrously
so in your literally obsessively
and basically, malicious mind
people whom you really don't
even know; that crucially you
sensibly took a quite serious
and naturally, additionally as
well, an essentially long and
simply hard look at yourself.

And not only try to realistically
ascertain why you're actually
the person who you are, but
evidently also are quite seriously and
clearly obdurately as well embarking
on the behaviour, which you've quite
independently, personally chosen to
committedly and publicly indulge in
as you've obviously rather callously
done. This very brazenly, massively
and so evilly exploitative behaviour
that you're so basically hooked on!
Which essentially isn't the least bit
genuinely productive or effectively
that beneficial long term either for
yourself or those who're evilly and
vilely encouraging you; literally, so
very pathetic your odious actions.
And instead, of you most stupidly
deciding, on actually staying how
you are, why not really endeavour
to being a pleasant human being.

Author's Remarks:
Being purposely, arrogantly, quite prejudicially, racially, ethnically or even sexually precluded from doing something that you innately know you can positively achieve and moreover be quite distinctly brilliant at, while on the other hand seeing evidently favoured persons: either because of their wealth or social connections, and who are quite conspicuously less competent either in that discipline as yourself, or distinctly less possessed of the exact same natural ability which you most self-evidently have, nevertheless rather unfairly given opportunities which obviously they're not rightly or fairly entitled to, to all the same perform when you're prevented from actually doing so by those who're favourably disposed to them and in a manner that you obviously with all your natural ability wouldn't ever be; and likewise cognizant that those who fully injudiciously and prejudicially are purposely behaving in this way, yet crucially in their distinctively unjust practices those whom they quite prejudicially fawn over and give preference to will never be able to match your inherent skills that you also likewise assiduously work on constructively improving, is not simply wrong but also, as every rational mind will conclude, egregiously malevolent in the process of what has been intentionally done. And were you the victim of such behaviour, in my view, to categorize such behaviour by those who are determined to frustrate your natural abilities in this rabidly unfair manner as jealousy, no fair-minded person could quite realistically blame you.

However, for that person who has been unjustly favoured to fall flat on their face in spite of all the significantly unfair treatment and advantages randomly and liberally given to them, then quite grotesquely endeavour and maliciously as well do all they possibly can with their influential friends to stymie, and thankfully so unsuccessfully in that process, your brilliant success based exclusively on your unceasing and very rigorous determination to succeed, and itself a commitment complemented by your distinctive, natural ability; such behaviour by your odious enemies and similarly vile detractors is quite undoubtedly to all intelligible minds, I firmly and unapologetically do honestly believe, the epitome in terms of absolute and unadulterated jealousy.
