Jealousy.
Small word, really. Three syllables.
You’d think that a word describing such
a force as Jealousy would be bigger.
Because,
Jealousy is big.
It can kill kings, splinter siblings, and
begin bitter battles between the closest
of friends.
You’d think that it would be a bigger word.
But I guess that those moved by Jealousy
are the smallest of us all.
