Four-Letter Disease
Like a thief in the night, it comes seeping into your veins
mingling and multiplying with your DNA.
Spreading its destructive radiation so deep
so wide as to leave a glowing green on the surface.
It tears away at your insides
and breaks down that which once made you safe.
Clean.
Leaving you susceptible to the other four-letter disease
Un-curable, Un-treatable, but preventable
It arrives with all the common symptoms
Dreaming of what you can't have,
Craving what you can't have,
And a distinct foul odor of rotting corpse.
It is one of the seven deadly.
Envy.

And a distinct foul odor of rotting corpse.
