Envious Desires

Am I to live as an envious one Am I to yearn for my peers' possessions When life is itself, made of diversity When we have been set to be varied Yes, each one of us has been assigned his lot More, each one of us is to appreciate others Yes, only by doing thus, shall we liberate The angel sleeping in us, the pacifier Why, I desire not anyone's wealth I desire only more poetic breath I desire only more magic, at the tips of my fingers So that I may please the world from its many hangovers Pray, it is best to open up and tolerate To accept and to appreciate each other's fate! 19 November 2016
