Envy Not The Tall Poppy : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

Some who envy of another's gifts

are charismatically bankrupt .


What I feel is they cannot see how their own talents slowly  corrupt  .

The harvest  greed , from the  jealous seed  ,

bitterly bears fruit in their heart .  

 

That is why they are torn apart

and the reason why fights always start .


Why does jealousy have to snip the wings

of a  talent as it flies?

 

Tall poppies have died, in fields of green envy ,

deprived of light to rise .


How could they let his thing walk free ,

 in a world where stars light up the sky ?

The green eyed monster, from deep within ,

feeds on greed not willing to try  .
