UNCLEAN SPIRITS: Envy ... Plain Envy!

Precious Pearls

Pasty Pig

AND

Putrid Pennies

Famous Friend

Friendly Fiend

Fractious

False

AND

Fiddly

Blighter, Baxter, Bing

AND

Boss

Outrageous Anger

Cruel Wrath

AND

Secret Praise

Were All In Attendance At

Clear De Aire

Waiting

Some Patiently

Some Worriedly

- None Indifferently -

For Envy ... Plain Envy

To Do The Usual

AND

Blaze!

All The Brethren

Had Individual

Some May Say Peculiar

Some May Say Particular

Issues!

They Intermittently

Cussed Each Other Out

 - Just Because -

AND

As And When Necessary

AND

Made Up Often

- As Appropriate -

BUT

There Had Not Been

A Single Soul

Who Could Hold Their Own Against

Envy ... Plain Envy

Until

Open Rebuke

Into The Family

Had Adroitly

Walked In

Without A Shout

AND

Displaying No Doubt

Unceremoniously

Calmly

AND

Surprisingly Lovingly

Given Envy ... Plain Envy

His Very First Rout!

He Was Not Well Pleased!

But ... I Digress!

Pasty Pig

Always Stepped Upon

Precious Pearls!

AND

Precious Pearls Despised

Putrid Pennies

Because

Well, Because

Pennies Cannot Hold A Light Up To Pearls

Now, Can They?!

High Flying Precious Pearls

Forgot

Ignored

AND

Dismissed From All Consciousness

The Fact That

An Accumulation From

Putrid Pennies

Permits Particular People

To Purchase Pearls

For A Premium Price!

Altercations In The Clan

Caused Chaos

AND

It Is Not Unheard Of

For

The Occasional Crime

To Have Been

Casually Committed

Causing

Considerable Consternation!

But ...

What About Envy ... Plain Envy!

Who, Where, Why ...?!?

What Is He All About?!

Nice! You Called Out His Whole Name!

Envy ... Plain Envy

Is A Hustling Harridan

Who Highjacks Praise

Harasses Effort

Hounds And Hates

Hinders Progress

AND

Highlights Flaws

In Everything

Against Everyone

Anyone

Everytime Anything Excellent

Before Them

As Bounty

Is Placed

Just Because

He Did Not Get It

FIRST!

Envy ... Plain Envy

Is Just Plain Hateful

AND

He Is Past Master

At Getting

Outrageous Anger

AND

Cruel Wrath

To Do His Dirty Work!

Envy ... Plain Envy

Aka Jealously

Is Never Contented

With What He Has

Nor With

What He Gets!

Dissatisfaction Is His Disease!

Discontentment Is His Creed!

Destruction Is His Feed

AND

Hate Is The Strutting Steed

That He Faithfully Leads!

That Is How He Gets "The Feels!"

Remember ...

Envy ... Plain Envy

Jealousy - Same Personality -

Is What Momentarily

"Darkened" Heaven!

Lucifer Wanted

What Was Not His To Have

Nor To Hold

Nor To Know

So He Determined

He Would Have It All

As If His Selfish Desire

Was To The Holy God Of Heaven

Bright Gold!

For His Presumption

Lucifer Received

An ... OPEN REBUKE!

AND

Upon The Earth

He Did Unceremoniously Land!

The Outcome For Lucifer

Is

He Has Been Renamed

Satan - The Adversary

AND

He Was From Highest Heaven Cast Out!

He Can't Go Home Again

AND

Now

He Ever Always

At And Against Frail And Fallible Man 

Plots And Pouts!

Satan Is A Malevolent Spirit!

He Is Powerful

AND

He Is Motivated By Hate!

He Hates What God Loves

AND

In His Dealings With Mankind, My Friend

He Does Not Wear Kid Gloves!

The Continuing Fallout

From That Debacle

Is Still

Disturbing

AND

Destroying

Mankind To This Day

AND

All Who Indulge Satan's Envious Spirit

(Yes ... It Started With Him!)

Will Also Gain And Get

What He Got!

Not A Whole Lot!

Remember Eve!

Remember Cain!

Despise Envy!

Despise Greed!

Embrace Contentment Of Spirit

AND

Let Jesus The Christ

The Eternal God

- Who For Us Died -

In Your Embittered-By-Sin Life

Take The Glorious Lead!
