Enduring uncommon greed
Envious of the outside world
Deserving more than what we pay for
Leading long, but painful lives
Expecting more than what we have
Surviving on what’s at hand

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
