Jealous Blindness.

In jealous blindness we forget
the love we should be giving
forgiving the faults of others
helping the souls that are living,

It’s easy to pass judgment
of those we do not know
but look deep inside yourself
and let suspicion go,

To those we seldom see
say welcome
invite them to stay
don't push against there self esteem
but help brush there fear’s away,

Shyness is sometimes a barrier
between happiness and truth
familiar ground is prevalent
to them that first are new,

So before you sit in judgment of others
and can’t see the picture for the paint
just look deeper within yourself
and realise it's not them that you hate.

Annie.

Yo Annie,

This is a good poem on the stupidity of jealousy.  Thanks for not writing of death today.

~ Wow!!! A sit up and take notice kind of ending!

Loved this line ~ "can't see the picture for the paint" ~ Excellent!

Be well! Be happy! Be you!
