The couple
With no kids
Who need a four-thousand-square-foot
Vacation home
With two pools
And beach access
Then I can look at my own home and feel bad
Show me
The yachts
The parties
Of the rich and snooty
Dining on specific kinds of cheese
I couldn't find
Unless I went to France
Then I can chew, tearful, on my vegan hot dog in a wheat bun
Show me
The drive of the spendthrifts
Who fork over thousands for trips
And wedding dresses
And man caves
And luxury seats
To watch a game, a play, a show
That I see for pennies on my television
Then I can wish I had the money to burn, to waste
No, wait!
Better yet,
Show me
People who care about something
Enough to work hard
To fix it
To feed those in need
To sacrifice their time
Their hard-earned money
And their whole lives
To help the world
Just a minute
I forgot
People like that don't make it on TV, do they?
