Poetry
Beware that Green-eyed Monster
That Green-eyed Monster originating from Adam’s sin
Resides in the best and worst of man and holds him in his grip
This ugly seed of envy Satan planted to distort Cain’s thinking
Made bitter his mind with hate at Abel’s better offering
This monster lives deep within man’s very breast
Enters with a stab and banishes his peaceful rest
Man is never satisfied, never content
He lusts and covets to his detriment
He wants, must have, his desires must he obey
He cheats and steals and covetousness holds sway
Look to the Cross one’s pain and anguish to assuage
Only Christ, the answer, can this war with Satan wage
