THE EYE OF JEALOUSY

We all know of the good eye

The eye of the needle

We also know of the furious eye

That is the hurricanes’ inner circle;

But have you heard of that eye

Which pierces you like a needle?

The needle of the evil eye

Is jealousy in the form of a sty;

Which pierces happiness for free

and jinxes its possibility.

So desist from using the needle

That needle of jealousy

That harms even a babe in a cradle

With a mere look; you see.

For it’s the way you look

The way you see; you see

Which matters more to me

and causes more harm than can be
