The beast prowls,snatching anything
everything
like a shrewd scavenger he lies in ambush
he knows nothing of
regret or forgiveness
his only call is to
steal and destroy
he is envious
oh how he bubbles with jealousy
protecting only what is valued for himself
crushing whatever isn't
constantly on the hunt
never sleeping just waiting
watching
it is lurking, it is lonely
he is a thief
he is
envy
