The gold-eyed serpent

JEALOUSY

(Author and architect

of fallacy)

Hears what she wishes,

Seeks proof to her claims,

Fashions guilt from innocence,

Slanders.

Maims.

Reputations lie wounded.

She has blood in her teeth –

She bites at scabs

And licks underneath.

She is right and correct

To rip others to shreds

On account of the whispers

She creates in her head.

For falsehoods are not lies

 When sincerely believed,

And self-justification

Triumphantly achieved.
