~ The Tolling Of The Bells ~

One of the affections truly disposed
Is envy and its bells
With vehement wishes so supposed
Coming so easily to those
With desperate measures in many a mind
For greatness
Over jealousies intrusion upon the scriptures
An eye for an eye alike
Astrologers calling it influences
Influences of stars upon the bells
Creating animosity
In books of little more than fodder
Brain fodder stirring in envy
With envy in its essence
An ejaculation or eradication
Of the singing bells
Some have been so curious as to note
That when time hits the stroke
The envious begin to hurt
Begin to scoff
And never ever fend off
The tolling of the bells....
