The Blindness of Envy
Vroom Vroom
The silent scream of the electric engine fights the will
Of the gas hogs filled in the parking lot.
The stares of the endless eyes seek to penetrate the car,
To erase the hundreds of scars they hold.
The fury that sits in their mind
Leave them to live in the blind.
They sit and stare and pester our minds with questions.
Yet it's not what the electric car is that badgers their mind mearley what it represents.
The fortunate or “wealthy”
Less than 1% of the people in the area are in the middle class
Their problems are like quicksand, bringing them deeper and deeper into problems
Once one of them was my mom.
My mom took the rotten old banana she was given and made banana bread
As their mind filled with horrid words to speak
They only needed to act.
Then they jabbed at us
Taking the only electric charging spot, acting as if this would undo all their problems.
Then the arguing started like the fall of the wall of berlin, only a matter of time.
Screams of hate speaking “ Car sucks, horrible patriot, dumb@34s”
Slice,Slice each jab deeper and deeper until they couldn't take it anymore
Their problems overwhelmed them into anger
They argue at us who are better of
Mad that I was lucky to be born into a fortunate and rich family
Yet they were blind to see that my mom had done what they dreamed to be.
