Some consider this a poem, but I don't think so, I just think it's short.Pretty much a story in which I used a few human characteristics as characters.

In the beginning, there was something called jealousy. 

All it did was want. 

The pet of it was named greed. It fed off of jealousy but it was never
full. 

Jealousy had a cloth that previoulsy covered its left face. It took it
off, and then there was shame, with the distasteful marks that it 
wanted to hide on its face, waiting to face the truth. 

Truth harmed shame, and as it sobbed of pain, it said, “I want to be
innocent.” 

Jealousy took over and said , “Why can't you ? It isn't fair that others
can,is it? One way or another, together, we can acheive.” Greed kept 
chewing on jealousy's leg. 

Later, from the mix of jealousy ,greed, and shame, came anger,
perversion, and embarrasment. And more were to come. 

But there was one unlike the others. That came from shame and greed.
Oddly enough, it was named ...hope. 

But in the end, they all wanted.
