Envy

The ruins of the past,
The whispers of the future
The tears of the present,
Haunted screams of those
Who prevailed in the forgotten
Their praises long written in history,
Clashes of the swords,
Spite of the spoken,
Envy of the poor
And greed of the rich
Those who beseeched the sun,
And those who craved the moon.
Some worshipped the forces of divine,
Others reverenced the wealthy,
“Do not be concerned my child” said the wind,
“The rage shall conquer those who seek vengeance” said the fire
“The greed shall shatter those who were once innocent” said the ice 
“As my heart beats, those wronged and those blameworthy shall all bleed the same” 
Said the Earth, at last.
