Fay Roberts apologises for entirely losing a day, and proffers this hastily written, iambic stream-of-consciousness on the subject of Envy, which turns out to be more complex than ze’d anticipated.
How dare they shout to claim your starry skies?
You think that they’d have quite enough from birth
to satisfy their hunger, stop their cries –
it’s like they don’t appreciate the worth
of everything that’s handed to them – free
and gratis, not like you, who’s had to work
to claim what meagre scraps you’ve gathered – see?
It’s more than equal treatment while they shirk
responsibilities – it’s thoughtlessness
that irks you, when all you can do is think
what luxuries you’d milk from bitterness
while, all the while, you’re clinging to the brink
of giving up on being good and kind –
they all deserve a big piece of your mind.
