Your neighbor will be forgiven
a portion of his student loan.
But, you covet his forgiveness
since you paid yours in full, alone.
His forgiveness costs you nothing
but your ego and your pride.
His release from pressure
cannot change the fact yours did subside,
the day you met your goal
and your own worries died.
Would you wish continued suffering
on one who has done you no harm?
Such callous disregard and loathing
erodes your false and endless charm.
Remember the 10th Commandment
and the one Christ announced the best.
Love others as I have loved you.
Rejoice in student debtors’ blessings
and let your covetousness rest.
