ENVY

I envy:-People who can pay for college in full for five sons
-People who get shoeshines on their way to private corporate jets-People who use the word 'envy' with such moral gravity to describe those who are struggling to pay bills, the middle class and all the rest of the 99%, as if there was time enough in our days for 'envy.'
When asked what he and his striking men wanted, Samuel Gompers, famous union organizer, simply replied: 'More.'
It's not envy to want more -- from our politicians, our country, and from ourselves.  We should be given the opportunity to want more -- and to dream too.

Envy HaikuEnvy, covet orWant?  I prefer want, simpler:Want more, envy less.

Truly, from author of LIE.
