My envy

I envy a peaceful hut than a mansion at war I envy an empty happy plate than a bowl of chicken that’s full of hatred I envy a grateful heart than a jealous heart I envy a free poor land than a rich enslaved land I envy clean pennies than dirty thousands dollars

So unfair and one can never understand how it feels until they lack it. Thank you
