Envy; the green-eyed egoistic, angry, fearsome, deadly, monster

Sadly, dastardly, woefully; no stranger to the entire human race

Equal opportunity beast, entertained by, and at home in us all; bar none

A demanding, ungrateful, unforgiving, insatiable and querulous guest

Bossing, supine, hostile, insecure; unkind minds and hearts

It lurks, and skulks, in the dark shadows, recesses, and corners, of the sacred soul

Requiring a steady, costly, copious diet of ill-will, rage and bitterness

Feeding fat and obliterating, boundaries of healthy; inspiration, ambition, and competition

A proximate cause of depression, anxiety, inferiority, unhappiness and prejudice

Unreined envy in the driver's seat, heads nowhere, but to the abyss, of incremental lunacy.

"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on."

Othello - William Shakespeare

**

Envy; a grotesque, alien power, absent in newborns and infants

Close kin, of hatred, spite, disquiet and grievance
